    A 12 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 15 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 18 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 10 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the number be 'y'.

    (66 - y) : (54 - y) = 4 : 3

    → 3 × (66 - y) = 4 × (54 - y)

    → 198 - 3y = 216 - 4y

    → y = 18

    So, y = 18
