Answer»

\mathtt{\huge{\bf{\underline{\red{Given :-}}}}}

  • A number is 56 greater than the average of its third quarter and one twelfth .

\mathtt{\huge{\bf{\underline{\green{To\:Find :-}}}}}

  • The number in the question.

\mathtt{\huge{\bf{\underline{\blue{Solution :-}}}}}

Let the number be 'X'

The one- third of the number will be = \dfrac{x}{3}

The quarter of the number will be its \dfrac{1}{4} . So, it is = \dfrac{x}{4}

The one- twelth of the number will be = \dfrac{x}{12}

According to the question ,

  • The average of its third quarter and one twelfth . (Given )

The average of the number will becomes,

➝ \dfrac{ \dfrac{x}{3} +  \dfrac{x}{4}  +  \dfrac{x}{12}  }{3}

➝ \dfrac{1}{3} × ( { \dfrac{x}{3} +  \dfrac{x}{4}  +  \dfrac{x}{12} )

  • A number is 56 greater than its average. (Given)

➝ x = \dfrac{1}{3} × ( { \dfrac{x}{3} +  \dfrac{x}{4}  +  \dfrac{x}{12} ) + 56

➝ x = { \dfrac{x}{9} +  \dfrac{x}{12}  +  \dfrac{x}{36} + 56

➝ x - { \dfrac{x}{9} +  \dfrac{x}{12}  +  \dfrac{x}{36} = 56

➝ x - { \dfrac{x}{9} -  \dfrac{x}{12}  -  \dfrac{x}{36} = 56

➝ 36x - 4x - 3X - x = 36 × 56

➝ 36x - 4x - 3x - x = 2016

➝ 36x - 8 x = 2016

➝ 36x - 8 x = 2016

➝ 28 x = 2016

➝ x = \dfrac{2016}{28}

➝ x = 72

The REQUIRED number is 72 .
