Question:

If 64 added in a number then the number becomes 157\(\frac{1}{7}\)% of itself. Find the number.

Options:

100

115

112

114

Correct Answer:

112

Explanation:

157\(\frac{1}{7}\) % = 100 % + 57\(\frac{1}{7}\)%

ATQ, 57\(\frac{1}{7}\)% = 64

57\(\frac{1}{7}\)% = \(\frac{4}{7}\)

Here, ATQ,

4R = added number = 64

1R = 16

7R = original number = 7 x 16 = 112
