Question : 60% of 40% of a number is equal to 150. What is the 20% of that number?

Option 1: 175

Option 2: 145

Option 3: 200

Option 4: 125

Team Careers360 14th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 125


Solution : Let the number be $x$.
According to the question,
$\frac{60}{100}\times\frac{40}{100}\times x=150$
⇒ $\frac{3}{5}\times\frac{2}{5}\times x=150$
$\therefore x=625$
Now, 20% of $x$
= $\frac{20}{100}\times x$
= $\frac{1}{5}\times 625$
= 125
Hence, the correct answer is 125.

Team Careers360 16th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $2\frac{5}{8}\ \text{hours}$


Solution : Speed of the train = 60 km/hr
Time = 210 minutes = $\frac{210}{60} = \frac{7}{2}$ hours
Distance covered = 60 × $\frac{7}{2}$ = 210 km
$\therefore$ Time taken at 80 km/hr $=\frac{210}{80} = \frac{21}{8} = 2\frac{5}{8}\ \text{hours}$
Hence, the correct answer is $2\frac{5}{8}\ \text{hours}$.
