x will be

OPtion

1) 96
2) 92
3) 88
4) 84
5) 80
6) 78
7) 75
8) 68
9) 52
10) none of these

Solution

40% of 60 + 60 % of 40 = 50 % of x
so 60*0.4 + 40*0.6 = x*0.5
or 48 = 0.5x
or x = 96

Dr.Dipin Singh   12 years AGO

40% of 60 + 60 % of 40 = 50 % of x
24+24 = 50% of x
48 = 50% of x
x= 48*100/50=96 .. option 1

Balakrishnan M   12 years AGO

40% of 60 + 60 % of 40 = 50 % of x
==>(40/100)*60+(60/100)*40=(50/100)*x
==> 24 + 24 = x/2
==> 48 = x/2
==> 96 = x
