MAHA TET Paper 1: Mathematics Test - 10 - Question 29

If (17.28 ÷ x) ÷ (3.6 × 0.2) = 2, then the value of x is:

Detailed Solution for MAHA TET Paper 1: Mathematics Test - 10 - Question 29

Given,
(17.28÷x) ÷ (3.6×0.2) = 2
Take x to one side and all other numbers on the other side.
(17.28/x) ÷(3.6×0.2) = 2
(17.28/x) ÷ 0.72 = 2
(17.28/(x x 0.72) = 2
⇒ (1/x) = (0.72 x 2)/17.28
⇒ (1/x) = (1/12)
∴ x = 12
Hence, the correct answer is 12.
