According to the question, P=(40% of A)+(65% of B)
and Q=(50% of A)+(50% of B), where A>B
Now, P−Q=(40% of A)+(65% of B)−(50% of A)−(50% of B)=(15% of B)−(10% of A)
We know that A>B, but not by how much.
Hence, all three cases are possible, as illustrated below:
-
If B=100 and A=110, then P−Q=(15% of B)−(10% of A)=15−11=4. So, P>Q
-
If B=100 and A=150, then P−Q=(15% of B)−(10% of A)=15−15=0. So, P=Q
-
If B=100 and A=200, then P−Q=(15% of B)−(10% of A)=15−20=−5. So, P<Q Hence, nothing can be said about the relation between P and Q.
