Answer 2

Let the required certain sum of money is Rs a,

     According to the question,

⇒ 40% of Rs a = Rs 120

⇒ 40 / 100 of Rs a = Rs 120

⇒ 40 / 100 x Rs a = Rs 120

⇒ 2 / 5 x Rs a = Rs 120

⇒ Rs a = ( Rs 120 x 5 ) / 2

⇒ Rs a = Rs 60 x 5

⇒ Rs a = Rs ( 60 x 5 )

⇒ Rs a = Rs 300

Therefore the sum of money ( required here ) is Rs 300.
