Answer 2

The required number is 3.

Given:

A number when subtracted from 1/4 and on multiplying the result by 1/4 gives the value11/16.

To Find:

The number which satisfies the given condition.

Solution:

Let us consider that the required number is 'x'.

Subtracting 'x' from 1/4 gives us the value (x - 1/4)

According to the question, if we multiply (x - 1/4) by 1/4, we get 11/16,

⇒ (x - 1/4) * (1/4) = 11/16

⇒ (4x - 1)/16 = 11/16

⇒ (4x - 1) = 11

⇒ x = 12/4 = 3

∴ The required number is 3.
