      to make the resulting numbers in the ratio 3:2.
      A 16 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 29 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 12 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 36 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let the number be 'y'.

      (72 - y) : (60 - y) = 3 : 2

      β†’ 2 Γ— (72 - y) = 3 Γ— (60 - y)

      β†’ 144 - 2y = 180 - 3y

      β†’ y = 36

      So, y = 36
