Solution

(x/100)[(x/100)[(x/100)[(x/100)x]]] = x
so x = 100

Correct Option: 3 Best Solution (17)

Aparajita Chowdhury   13 years AGO

(x/100)*(x/100)*(x/100)*(x/100)*x=x
or,x^4=100000000
or,x=100

Given,x/100(x/100(x/100(x/100*x)=x
x=100,
100/100(100/100(100/100(100/100*100)=100
so,ans=100

x % of x % of x % of x % 0f x is equal to x
means
(x/100)*(x/100)*(x/100)*(x/100)*x =x
(given that x is a real number)
then
(x/100)*(x/100)*(x/100)*(x/100)=1
it is possible when x= 100 .. option 3

Nilesh   13 years AGO

100% of 100= 100

x % of x % of x % of x % 0f x is equal to x, so x will be 100.

100% of x is x.
so value of x % of x % of x % of x % 0f x is equal to x only when x=100.

sacreties   13 years AGO

given that,
(x/100)*(x/100)*(x/100)*(x/100)*x=x
=>(x^5/10^8)=x
=>x^4=10^8
=>x=10^2=100
hence option 3 is the answer

x/100(x/100(x/100(x/100)*x)))=x
x^5/100^4=x
x^4/100^4=1
x^4=100^4
x=100

Karthick Babu   13 years AGO

x^5/100^4=x
=>x^5=x*100^4
=>x^4=100^4
So x is definitely 100 (Option 3)

elakkia   13 years AGO

x/100*x/100*x/100*x/100*x=x
both sides x is cancel
then x/100*x/100*x/100*x/100=1
so,x power 4=100000000
then x power 4=100 power 4
so x=100

100.
100% of 100=100.so,
100% of 100% of 100% of 100% of 100=100.
