Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Let the number be x.

60% of x is 0.6x.

According to the problem, 0.6x - 60 = 60.

Add 60 to both sides: 0.6x = 120.

Divide both sides by 0.6: x = 120 / 0.6 = 200.

Therefore, the number is 200.

हिन्दी उत्तर:

माना संख्या x है।

x का 60% = 0.6x

प्रश्नानुसार, 0.6x - 60 = 60

दोनों तरफ 60 जोड़ने पर: 0.6x = 120

दोनों तरफ 0.6 से भाग देने पर: x = 120 / 0.6 = 200

इसलिए, संख्या 200 है।
