Question Detail
if the sum of \begin{aligned} \frac{1}{2} \end{aligned} and \begin{aligned} \frac{1}{5} \end{aligned} of a number exceeds \begin{aligned} \frac{1}{3} \end{aligned} of the number by \begin{aligned} 7\frac {1}{3} \end{aligned}, then number is
- 15
- 20
- 25
- 30
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Seems a bit complicated, isnt'it, but trust me if we think on this question with a cool mind then it is quite simple...
Let the number is x,
then, \begin{aligned} (\frac{1}{2}x + \frac{1}{5}x) - \frac{1}{3}x = \frac{22}{3} \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned}
=> \frac{11x}{30} = \frac{22}{3}
\end{aligned}
\begin{aligned}
=> x = 20
\end{aligned}
