Question

Find the ${68}^{\mathrm{th}}$ multiple of $89$, if the ${69}^{\mathrm{th}}$ multiple is $6141$.

• A. $6230$
• B. $5963$
• C. $6052$
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C

$6052$

Explanation for the correct option:

We are given ${69}^{\mathrm{th}}$ multiple of $89$ as $6141$

We need to evaluate the consecutive previous multiple of $89$, that is the ${68}^{\mathrm{th}}$ multiple.

The difference between the two consecutive multiples will be the number itself.

The ${68}^{\mathrm{th}}$ multiple of $89$ will be $89$ less than the ${69}^{\mathrm{th}}$ multiple.

So, the required multiple will be $6141-89=6052$

Therefore, the ${68}^{\mathrm{th}}$ multiple of $89$ is $6052$.

Hence, option C is correct.
