      ‘u’ is reduced by 12% and ‘v’ is increased by 18%, both become equal. Find the value of ‘v’.
      A 339.62 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 286.25 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 167.44 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 256.70 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      u + v = 600 ……(i)

      ATQ,

      0.88 × u = 1.18 × v

      Or, u = (1.18 / 0.88) × v

      So, u = (59v / 44)

      Put the value of ‘u’ in equation (i), we get,

      (59v/44) + v = 600

      Or, (103v/44) = 600

      Or, v = 600 × (44/103)

      So, v = 256.70
