Q:

10 is added to a certain number, the sum is multiplied by 7, the product is divided by 5 and 5 is subtracted from the quotient. The remainder left is half of 88. What is the number?

A) 21 B) 20
C) 25 D) 30
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 25

When 10 is added, number = x + 10

When 7 is multiplied, number = 7 X (x + 10)

According to question,

⇒[7 X (x+10) / 5] –5 = 44

⇒7x + 70 = 49 X 5

⇒x + 10 = 35,

⇒x = 25
