    A student was asked to find \[\frac{5}{16}\] of a number. By mistake he found \[\frac{5}{6}\] of that number. His answer was 250 more than the correct answer. Find the given number.

    A) 300                              

    B) 480

    C) 450                              

    D) 500

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Let the number = x \[x\times \frac{5}{6}-x\times \frac{5}{16}=250\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[\frac{40x-15x}{48}=250\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[\frac{25x}{48}=250\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[x=\frac{250\times 48}{25}=480\]
