Two-fifth of one-third of three-seventh of a number is 15. What is 40 percent of that number?

A 72

B 84

C 136

D None of these

Solution

Correct Answer: Option D

let the number be x

(2/5) × (1/3) × (3/7) x = 15
⇒ x = (15 × 35)/2

40% of x = {(15 × 35)/2 } × .4
              = {(15 × 35)/2} × (4/10)
              = 105
