Question

A positive integer, which when added to 1000, gives a sum which is greater than when it is multiplied by 1000. This positive integer is:

• A. 1
• B. 5
• C. 7
• D. 3

Answer 1

The correct option is A 1

Let the possitive no. be ${}^{\prime }{x}^{\prime }$

As $x+1000>1000x$

$1000>999x$

$x<\frac{1000}{999}$

$\Rightarrow x<1.001$

$\therefore$ Possitive integer $<\left(1.001\right)$ is $1$

Hence ans. is $1$
