Percentages Question 4 - CAT 2025
Question
A certain amount of money was divided among Pinu, Meena, Rinu, and Seema.
- Pinu received 20% of the total amount.
- Meena received 40% of the remaining amount.
- Seema received 20% less than Pinu.
The ratio of the amounts received by Pinu and Rinu is:
Step-by-Step Explanation
Assume the total amount is 100.
- Pinu receives 20.
- Remaining amount = 80.
- Meena receives 40% of 80 = 32.
- Seema receives 20% less than Pinu = 16.
Therefore,
Rinu receives:
100 − (20 + 32 + 16) = 32
Required ratio:
Pinu : Rinu = 20 : 32 = 5 : 8
So, the correct answer is Option C (5 : 8).
