    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

    → 2 × (72 - y) = 3 × (60 - y)

    → 144 - 2y = 180 - 3y

    → y = 36

    So, y = 36
