Answer 2

■■■ Question ■■■

One fourth of a no. is greater than one fifth of its succesor by 1 . find the number.

■■■ Answer ■■■

Let, the no. be x

then,

one fourth of x = (1/4)*x = x /4

succesor of x will be x + 1

one fifth of its succesor= (1/5)*(x+1) =(x+1) /5

According to the question,

(x/4) = (x+1) /5 + 1

Taking LCM in RHS

x / 4 = (x+1 + 5 ) /5

cross multiplying

5 x = 4 x + 24

5x - 4x = 24

x = 24

Hence, the number will be 24.
