5/9 of a number is equal to twenty five percent of second number. Second number is equal to 1/4 of third number. The value of third number is 2960. What is 30% of first number ?

Answer: Option A

Let the third number be 2960
∵ Second number = $$\frac{1}{4}$$ of the third number = $$\frac{1}{4}$$ × 2960 = 740
$$\frac{5}{9}$$ of first number = 25% of second number
$$\frac{5}{9}$$ first number = $$\frac{25\times 740}{100}$$  = 185
⇒ First number = $$\frac{185\times 9}{5}$$  = 333
∴ 30% of 333 = $$\frac{30}{100}$$ × 333 = 99.9
