280
320
360
400
Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is (c).
Let $x$ be the number. We are given that the average of $x$, its 50% and its 25% is 210. This means that:
$$\frac{x + \frac{1}{2}x + \frac{1}{4}x}{3} = 210$$
Simplifying, we get:
$$\frac{7}{12}x = 210$$
Multiplying both sides by $\frac{12}{7}$, we get:
$$x = 360$$
Therefore, the number is 360.
Option (a) is incorrect because 280 is not a multiple of 7.
Option (b) is incorrect because 320 is not a multiple of 7.
Option (d) is incorrect because 400 is not a multiple of 7.
