Choose the correct statements from the following. Choose the correct answer from the options given below.
- 1. x% of y is equal to y% of 100x
- 2. If 40% of 60% of 3/5 of a number is 504, then 25% of 2/5 of that number is equal to 350
- 3. If A is 15% more than B, then B is about 13.04% less than A
- 4. 10% of 5 and 5% of 10 add up to 0.1
A1 and 2 only
B2 and 3 only ✓ Correct
C3 and 4 only
D1 and 4 only
Correct answer: (B) 2 and 3 only — Statements 2 and 3 are correct, so the answer is 2 and 3.
Explanation
★Statements 2 and 3 are correct, so the answer is 2 and 3.
★For statement 2, the number works out so that 25 percent of two fifths of it is 350, so it is correct.
★For statement 3, if A is 15 percent more than B, then B is about 13.04 percent less than A, so it is correct.
★For statement 1, x percent of y equals y percent of x, not y percent of 100x, so it is wrong.
★For statement 4, 10 percent of 5 is 0.5 and 5 percent of 10 is 0.5, adding to 1, not 0.1, so it is wrong.
★So only statements 2 and 3 are correct.
