A number is to be multiplied by the fraction 4/5.But amit, by mistake multiplied it by 5/4 and obtained the number 81 more than the correct value.what was the original number?
a, 200
b, 240
c, 180
d, 120

• anser is c 180. let the no. be x.
  x*5/4 - x*4/5 =81. solving this we get 180

• x= 180
  we get by solving this
  (5/4)x-(4/5)x= 81

• answer is c 180
  let no. be x
  then eq will 4/5*x=y
  bt eq made amit is 5/4*x=y+81
  putting value of y in eq 2 we will get the as x=81*20/9=180
  so answer is 180

• C. 180
  LET ORIGINAL NO. BE x.
  then eq will be 4/5*x=Y
  but mistake fuly answer will be- 5/4*x=y+81
  equality the eq: me get x=180

• let d no z =x ,
  4/5x=y
  5/4x=y+81
  solving dis two equ ll get x=180

• 81+num*(4/5)=num*(5/4)=from this equation we get num=180.

• let the number is x
  81+(x*(4/5))=x*(5/4)
  => x=180
