Counting in Twenties
Category : 1st Class
Look at the following:
One twenty = 1 twenty =
Two twenties = 2 twenties =
Three twenties = 3 twenties =
Five twenties = 5 twenties =
Twelve twenties = 12 twenties =
Now, it is clear that
One twenty is one fold of
Two twenties is twofold of
Three twenties is three fold of
Five twenties is fivefold of
Twelve twenties is twelve fold of
Trick:
While counting in twenties, just double the number of times the twenty to be counted and put it in the left side, the word twenty/twenties written in the right side will be replaced by a single zero (0).
(A)
Here, we double the two that becomesand put it in the left while the word twenties written in the right get replaced by zero (0).
(B)
Here, we double the five that becomesand put it in the left while the word twenties written in the right side get replaced by zero (0). Clearly counting in 20's goes as: 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120 ..........and so on.
Four twenties
(a) 140
(b) 80
(c) 40
(d) 60

(c) 200
(d) 60
Answer: (a)
Explanation
Here, we have to find the value of 8th box. It means that we need the value of eight twenties which is eight fold of 20 and eight fold of 20 is equal to 160. It is clear from the following diagram:
Option (b) is incorrect because 180 = Nine twenties that is clear from the following diagram:
