Question

A number is as greater than 21 as it is less than 71. Find the number.

• A. 54
• B. 46
• C. 50
• D. 25

Answer 1

The correct option is B

46

Let the number be x.

From the given data, x is as greater than 21 as it is less than 71.

This means x - 21 = 71 - x

i.e. 2x = 71 + 21 = 92

i.e. x = 46

Thus, 46 is 25 more than 21 and 25 less than 71.
