Correct Answer: 12
Solution : Given: The ratio of two numbers = 5 : 4 Let the numbers be $5x$ and $4x$. 40% of the first number = 12 So, $\frac{40}{100}\times 5x=12$ $⇒x=6$ $\therefore$ The first number = 5 × 6 = 30 and the second number = 4 × 6 = 24 Thus, 50% of 24 $=\frac{50}{100}\times 24=12$ Hence, the correct answer is 12.
