Q:

A natural number when increased by 12 equals 160 times its reciprocal. Find the number?

A) 20 B) 12
C) 8 D) 4

Answer:   C) 8



Explanation:

Let the required number be 'p'.

From the given data,

p + 12 = 160 x 1/p

=> p + 12 = 160/p

=> p(p + 12) = 160

=> P^2 + 12p - 160 = 0

=> p^2 + 20p - 8p - 160 = 0

=> P(p + 20) - 8(p + 20) = 0

=> (p + 20)(p - 8) = 0

=> p = -20 or p = 8

As, given the number is a natural number, so it can't be negative.

Hence, the required number p = 8.
