Question:

If a% of 240 is c and c% of a is 117.6, then the value of a + c is :

Options:

238

144

260

196

Correct Answer:

238

Explanation:

ATQ,

\(\frac{a}{100}\) × 240 = c

60a = 25c     -----(1)

& \(\frac{c}{100}\) × a = 117.6

ac = 11760

\(\frac{60a}{25}\) × a = 11760

a = 70

Now , 60 × 70 = 25c

c = 168

a + c = 168  + 70 = 238
