Question 59
Sumit was doing a multiplication, but by mistake instead of taking 25 as one of the multiplier, he took 34. Now, because of this mistake, the answer was 405 more than the correct answer. Find out the answer that Sumit arrived at.
Solution
Let the other multiplier be p
Instead of calculating 25*p, he calculated 34*p
It is given that because of the mistake, the answer was 405 more than the correct answer.
34p-25p=405
9p = 405
p=$$\ \frac{\ 405\ }{9}$$
Now we have to find the value of 34p
=34*$$\ \frac{\ 405\ }{9}$$
=1530
A is the correct answer.
