A number is divided into two parts in such a way that 75% of the 1st part is 12 less than 30% of the 2nd part and 50% of the 2nd part is 56 more than 80% of the 1st part. What is the number?

Detailed Solution: Question 3

Let the first part = x
Second part = y
30% of y – 75% of x = 12 ----(1)
50% of y – 80% of x = 56 ----(2)
0.60 × Eq2 – Eq1
75% of x – 48% of x = 0.60 × 56 – 12
27% of x = 21.60

30% of y – 75% of 80 = 12
30% of y = 72
y = 240
so number is there sum ie. x + y
So the answer = 80 + 240 = 320
Hence, Option B is correct.
