    If (3/7) of 'x' is greater than

    (2/11) of 'x' by 38, then determine the value of 'x'.
    A 154 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 114 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 150 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 165 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, {(2/11) × x} + 38 = (3/7) × x Or, 38 = (3x/7) - (2x/11) Or, 38 = {(33x - 14x)/77} Or, 38 × 77 = 19x So, x = {(38 × 77)/19} = 154
