A boy was asked to multiply a certain number by 53. He multiplied it by 35 and got his answer less than the correct one by 1206. Find the number to be multiplied.
Option
a) 37
b) 67
c) 87
d) 97
e) 107

• Ans : B
  
  Let's Assume X is the Number
  53*X = 35*x + 1206
  18X = 1206
  X is 67

• 53x-35x=1206
  x=67

• let the no. be x
  53x=35x+1206
  53x-35x=1206
  18x=1206
  x=67

• 67
  here 53*x=y
  and 35*x=y-1206
  53x-35x=1206
  18x=1206 -> x=67

• let the number to be multiplied be A.
  according to the problem A*53 =B(ASSUME)
  Therefore A*35=B-1206
  therefore solving above two equations we get A=67

• Let no=x
  x*53-x*35=1206
  18*x=1206
  x=67

  18x=1206
  x=67
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• let number be x
  x*53=1206+x*35
  then x=67
