UPSC CAPF – 2021
35% of the number = 0.35 * N
27% of the number = 0.27 * N
The problem states that 35% of the number is 416 more than 27% of the same number.
So, 0.35N = 0.27N + 416
Subtract 0.27N from both sides:
0.35N – 0.27N = 416
0.08N = 416
To find N, divide 416 by 0.08:
N = 416 / 0.08
N = 416 / (8/100)
N = 416 * (100/8)
N = (416/8) * 100
N = 52 * 100
N = 5200
The number is 5200.
