    Question

    If 15\frac{1}{5}​ of a number multiplied by 23\frac{2}{3}​ of the same number gives 480, then the number is:

    A.

    80

    B.

    60

    C.

    100

    D.

    70

    Correct option is B

    Given: 

     15\frac{1}{5}​ of a number ×\times​ 23\tfrac{2}{3} of the same number = 480.

    Solution:

    Let a number = x

    Then,

    x×15×x×23=480x \times \frac{1}{5}\times x \times \frac{2}{3} = 480

    2×x215=480\frac{2\times x^2}{15} = 480

    x2=15×4802x^2 = \frac{15 \times 480}{2}

    ​​x2=15×240x^2 = 15 \times 240​​

    x2=3600x^2 = 3600

    ​​x=3600x = \sqrt{3600}

    x = 60

    So, the number is 60.

    Thus, the correct answer is option(b).
