Correct Answer: 66.66%


Solution : Let the 3 rd number be 100 units.
Then, 1 st number = 20% more than 100 = 120
and 2 nd number = 80% more than 100 = 180
So, the required percentage $=\frac{\text{First number}}{\text{Second number}}  × 100 = \frac{120}{180} × 100 = 66.66$%
Hence, the correct answer is 66.66%.
