Question

$9/16$ of a number is 51 greater than 50% of the number. Then , that number is

• A. 832
• B. 704
• C. 960
• D. 816

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

816

Let the Number be x

$\therefore \frac{9}{16}x=51+\frac{50}{100}\times x$

As per given condition

$\therefore \frac{9}{16}x-\frac{x}{2}=51$

$\therefore \frac{9x-8x}{16}=51$

$\therefore x=16\times 51$

$=816$
