Answer:1050
Step-by-step explanation:Let no. be X.
Now, Amit calculated 2/5th of X.
Therefore Amit's answer = (2/5)X
Correct Answer should have been (2/25)X
Since, his answer was greater than correct answer by 336,
This employs => (2/5)X - (2/25)X = 336
=> 0.4X - 0.08X = 336
=> 0.32X = 336
=> X = (336/0.32)
=> X = 1050
