Question

Solve the following mathematical Puzzle: Tell me who am I ? Take away the number 8 form me.Divide further by a dozen to come up with a full team for a game of cricket.

Answer 1

Answer:

140

1328

Step-by-step explanation:

Let say Number = A

Take away the number 8 from me   ( subtracted)

=> A - 8

Divide further by a dozen

a dozen = 12

=> (A - 8)/12

come up with a full team for a game of cricket  = 11

=>  (A - 8)/12 = 11

Multiplying by 12 both sides

=> A - 8 = 132

Adding 8 both sides

=> A = 140

or  

Say Number is B8

Take away the number 8 from me   ( if 8 is removed as digit)

Remaining number = B

=> B/12 = 11

=> B = 132

Number = B8  = 1328

Answer 2

Answer:

The number will be 140

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question,

We have to solve the mathematical puzzle.

Let say Number = X

Take away the  8 from me i.e 8 is subtracted from X

= X - 8

Divide further by a dozen

A dozen = 12

= $\frac{(X - 8)}{12}$

Then Come up with a full team for a game of cricket  = 11

= $\frac{(X - 8)}{12}\ =\ 11$

On solving we get

Multiplying by 12 both sides

X - 8 = 132

Adding 8 both the sides

X = 140

Therefore, the number will be 140
