A natural number when increased by 12, equals 160 times reciprocal. The number is-
Correct Answer:
B: 8
Explanation:
A natural number when increased by 12, equals 160 times reciprocal. The number is- Correct Answer 8 Step 1: Construct the equation based on given condition.let the required natural number be x.According to the question,x+12=160/xOn multiplying by x on both sides, we getx^2+12x−160=0,step 2: Find roots using factorization.By splitting the middle term, we get :⇒x^2+(20x−8x)−160=0⇒x^2+20x−8x−160=0⇒x(x+20)−8(x+20)=0⇒(x+20)(x−8)=0⇒x=8[x≠−20 because it is not a natural number]hence, the required natural number is 8

Seats for Mathematics, Physics and Biology in a university are in the ratio 5: 7: 8, There is a proposal to increase these seats by 40% , 50% and 75% respectively. what will be ratio of increased seats? Correct Answer 2: 3: 4 Let, the number of seats for Math, physics, and biology, be 5x, 7x and 8x respectively Number of increased seats are ( 140% of 5x). (150% of 7x) ( 175% of 8x) = (140/100×5x) , ( 150/100×7x), ( 175/100×8x) 7x, 21x/2, 14x The required ratio = 7x : 21x/2 : 14x = 14x : 21x : 28x = 2 : 3 : 4
