34frac{3}{4} th of one number is equal to 35frac{3}{5} th of the second number. If the difference between both the numbers is 105, then what is 50% of the first number?

a

270

b

210

c

240

d

180

e

220

Answer : Option B
Explanation :

Let the first number be x and the second number be y.

According to the question,

3x4=35yfrac{{3x}}{4} = frac{3}{5}y

x4=y5 Rightarrow frac{x}{4} = frac{y}{5}

y=5x4 Rightarrow y = frac{{5x}}{4}

5x4x=105 herefore frac{{5x}}{4} - x = 105

5x4x4=105 Rightarrow frac{{5x - 4x}}{4} = 105

x4=105 Rightarrow frac{x}{4} = 105

x=105×4=420 Rightarrow x = 105 imes 4 = 420

50  %  of  420=420×50100=210 herefore 50;{ m{\% ;of;}}420 = frac{{420 imes 50}}{{100}} = 210
