Answer 2

The number is 24.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number = x

Sudha multiplied a number by 5 after subtracting 8 from it.

= 5(x - 8)

The product was divided by 4 and the quotient obtained was 4 less than the number.

=> $\frac{5(x-8)}{4}$ = (x - 4)

=> 5(x - 8) = 4(x - 4)

=> 5x - 40 = 4x - 16

=> 5x - 4x = 40 - 16

=> x = 24

Hence, the number is 24.
