If increasing 20 by P percentage gives the same result as decreasing 60 by P percentage, what is P percentage of 70 ?

a)50
b)140
c)14
d)35

• d) 35
  20+20P/100 = 60-60P/100 or 100+P=300-3P,P=50
  So 50% of 70= 70*50/100=35

• Given, 20+P% = 60-P%---->2P% = 60 - 20
  2P% = 40 ----> P% = 20.
  Now, to find what % of P in 70, we put it as 20% of 70,
  i.e 20/100 or 0.02 * 70 = 14
  
  The Answer is 14.

• d)35 20+p/5= 60-6p/10
  p= 50
  then (70*50)/100 = 35

• ans is d- 35
  as 20+ 20*p/100= 60-60*p/100
  or, p= 50%
  so 70* 50/100 = 35
