Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

To find a percentage of a number, multiply the percentage (as a decimal) with the number.

(A) 12.5% of 1960

12.5%=12.5100=0.12512.5\% = \frac{12.5}{100} = 0.125

0.125×1960=2450.125 \times 1960 = 245


(B) 5% of 6000

5%=5100=0.055\% = \frac{5}{100} = 0.05

0.05×6000=3000.05 \times 6000 = 300


(C) 9% of 3000

9%=9100=0.099\% = \frac{9}{100} = 0.09

0.09×3000=2700.09 \times 3000 = 270


(D) 11% of 2000

11%=11100=0.1111\% = \frac{11}{100} = 0.11

0.11×2000=2200.11 \times 2000 = 220


The calculated values are:

(A) = 245

(B) = 300

(C) = 270

(D) = 220


Arranging from smallest to largest:

220<245<270<300220 < 245 < 270 < 300

(D)<(A)<(C)<(B)(D) < (A) < (C) < (B)

Therefore, the ascending order is: (D), (A), (C), (B)
