Aditya was asked to divide a number by 5 and subtract 20 from the quotient. He, however, first subtracted 20 from the number and then divided it by 5, getting 192 as the answer. The correct answer should have been: Correct Answer 176

Given:

Aditya was asked to divide a number by 5 and subtract 20 from the quotient.

He, however, first subtracted 20 from the number and then divided it by 5, getting 192 as the answer.

Calculation:

Let,

The number be x

According to the question,

⇒ (x - 20)/5 = 192 

⇒ x = 192 × 5 + 20 = 980

The number and then divided it by 5, getting 192 as the answer.

⇒ 980/5 - 20 = 176 

∴ The correct answer should have been 176.

There are two rows, each containing 3 numbers. Below are some rules to be used to get the resultant number for each row separately. Use the rule from left to right for each row and find the answer to the question. Rule: 1. If an even number is followed by an even number, then the first number will be subtracted from the second. 2. If an odd number is followed by an odd number, then both will be added. 3. If an odd number is followed by an even number, then the even number will be subtracted from the square of the odd number. 4. If an even number is followed by an odd number, then the odd number will be subtracted from the even number.
