Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
- Given, 90% of A = 30% of B
So, $ \frac{A\times 90}{100}=\frac{B\times 30}{100} $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ \frac{9A}{10}=\frac{3B}{10} $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ 3A=B $
Now, \ $ B=2x $ % of $ A $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ B=\frac{2x\times A}{100} $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ 3A=\frac{2x\times A}{100} $ $ [\because 3A=B] $
$ \therefore $ $ x=\frac{3\times 100}{2}=150 $
