Question

If a number is substracted by two third of 75% of 600, the value so obtained is 120. What is the number ?

• A. 180
• B. 120
• C. 160
• D. 240
• E. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A 180

Let the number be x
$So,\frac{2}{3}\times 75\%of600-x=120$
$\Rightarrow \frac{2}{3}\times 75\%\times 600-x=120$
$\Rightarrow \frac{2}{3}\times \frac{75}{100}\times 600-x=120$
$\Rightarrow 300-x=120$
$\Rightarrow x=300-120=180$
