A positive number, when decreased by 4, is equal to 21 times the reciprocal of the number. The number is:

A 3

B 5

C 7

D 9

Solution

Correct Answer: Option C

মনেকরি, 
সংখ্যাটি = x

প্রশ্নমতে, 
x - 4 = 21/x
বা, x(x - 4) = 21
বা, x2 - 4x - 21 = 0
বা, x2 - 7x + 3x - 21 = 0
বা, x(x - 7) + 3(x - 7) = 0
∴ (x - 7)(x + 3) = 0

হয় 
  x - 7 = 0
বা, x = 7

অথবা
  x + 3 = 0
বা, x = - 3

∴ সংখ্যাটি =  7
