From three cities A, B and C data is collected. The population of city B is 25% more than the population of city A and population of city C is 80% of the population of city B. What is the population of city B if sum of population of city A and city C is 1,25,000? Correct Answer 78,125
Given:
The population of B is 25% more than population A
The population of C = 80% of population of B
Solution:
Let the Population of city A be 100x
Then, the population of city B = (125/100) × 100x = 125x
Population of C = (80/100) × 125x = 100x
∴ According to given question
100x + 100x = 125000
⇒ 200x = 125000
⇒ x = 625
∴ The population of city B = 125 × 625 = 78,125
∴ The population of city B is 78,125
