(B) Let the first number be $x$ and the second number be $y$.According to the problem,when $x$ is divided by $12$,the result is $1/4$ of $y$.So,$\frac{x}{12} = \frac{1}{4}y$.Multiplying both sides by $12$,we get $x = 3y$.We need to find the percentage by which $x$ is greater than $y$.Percentage increase $= \frac{x - y}{y} 	imes 100\%$.Substituting $x = 3y$,we get $\frac{3y - y}{y} 	imes 100\% = \frac{2y}{y} 	imes 100\% = 200\%$.

When a number is divided by $12$,the quotient becomes $1/4$ of another number. By what percentage is the first number greater than the second number?
