(1/2) of a number is 3 more than the (1/6) of the same number?
a) 6 b)7 c)8 d)9

• Take a number as x.
  (1/2) of a number is 3 more than the (1/6) of the same number.
  i.e., x/2 = 3+(x/6)
  => x/3 = 3
  => x = 9
  Therefore option 'd' is correct.

• Take that number as 'x',
  By hypothesis, (1/2) of a number is 3 more than the (1/6) of the same number.
  so, (1/2)*x=3+((1/6)*x) => x/2 = 3+x/6 => 2x/6 = 3 =>x=9.
  Then, answer is 'd'
