Q. P is 6 times greater than Q then by what per cent is Q smaller than P?
✅ Correct Answer: (D)
83.33%
Explanation: Let Q = 10.
Then, P = 60.
Q is 50 less than P.
Q, % less than P = (50/60)×100=83.33%
Alternative Method
10 (Q) == (6 times greater) ==> 60(P) == x%↓(Less than Q) ==> 10 (Q)
Now,
x=(50×100)/60=83.33%

Let Q = 10.
Then, P = 60.
Q is 50 less than P.
Q, % less than P = (50/60)×100=83.33%
Alternative Method
10 (Q) == (6 times greater) ==> 60(P) == x%↓(Less than Q) ==> 10 (Q)
Now,
x=(50×100)/60=83.33%
Then, P = 60.
Q is 50 less than P.
Q, % less than P = (50/60)×100=83.33%
Alternative Method
10 (Q) == (6 times greater) ==> 60(P) == x%↓(Less than Q) ==> 10 (Q)
Now,
x=(50×100)/60=83.33%
