Question

If (72p×315)=24(7\frac{2}{p} \times 3\frac{1}{5}) = 24​, then value of p is

A.

2

B.

3

C.

4

D.

5

Correct option is C

Given
Equation: (72p×315)=24(7\frac{2}{p} × 3\frac{1}{5}) = 24​​

Formula Used
Mixed fraction conversion:  abc=a×c+bca\frac{b}{c} = \frac{a × c + b}{c}​​

Solution
Convert the mixed fractions into improper fractions:

7p+2p×165=24 7p+2p=24×516 7p+2p=3×52 7p+2p=152 2(7p+2)=15p14p+4=15p15p14p=4p=4\frac{7p + 2}{p} × \frac{16}{5} = 24\\ \ \\\frac{7p + 2}{p} = 24 × \frac{5}{16} \\ \ \\\frac{7p + 2}{p} = \frac{3 × 5}{2} \\ \ \\\frac{7p + 2}{p} = \frac{15}{2} \\ \ \\2(7p + 2) = 15p \\14p + 4 = 15p\\15p - 14p = 4\\p = 4​​
So the correct answer is (c)
