Answer 1

Answer:

62

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x.

Succeeding number = x + 1.

According to the given condition,

⇒ (1/4) x = 5 + (1/6) * (x + 1)

⇒ (1/4) x - (1/6) * (x + 1) = 5

LCM of 4,6  = 12

⇒ 3x - 2(x + 1) = 60

⇒ 3x - 2x - 2 = 60

⇒ x - 2 = 60

⇒ x = 62

Therefore, required number is 62.

Hope it helps!
