1. Two numbers are respectively 25% and 20% less than a
third number. What percent is the first number of the
second.
(A) 5.85%
(B) 75.85%
(C) 80.60%
(D) 93.75%

• let the 3 rd number be 100
  then 25% less than 100 will be ((100-25)/100)*100=75
  similarly 20% less will be 80
  
  percent is the first number of the second=(75/80)*100=93.75%

• And (D)93.75%
  If x,y & z are the three numbers
  according to given condition x=0.75z and y=0.8z
  % of x to the y=0.75z*100/0.8z=750/8=93.75

• taking the third no =100..so first one is 75 and second one is 80...so percentage=(75/80)*100=93.75%
