DS with Percentage And ineq

by vishubn » Sun Oct 05, 2008 7:28 pm
coupld u please help me figure out

If P and R are positive, is 25 percent of P equal to 10 percent of R?
(1) R is 150 percent greater than P
(2) P is 60 percent less than R.
 Statement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient
 Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient
 BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE
is sufficient.
 EACH statement ALONE is sufficient
 Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient

It should be 'D' .

If we consider 150% greater than P => (P+1.50P)=R

And if we consider P is 60% < R => R-0.60R=0.40R=P

For both the cases substituting the above values of P and R
in 0.25P=0.10R, we can find they are same for both the cases.
