The sum of one‐half, one‐third and one‐fourth of a number exceeds the number by 12. The number is:‐ 1. 1442. 1543. 904. 174

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 144

Let the number be x

The sum of one‐half, one‐third, and one‐fourth of that number = x/2 + x/3 + x/4

Given that it exceeds that number by 12

⇒ x/2 + x/3 + x/4 - x = 12

⇒ (6x + 4x + 3x - 12x)/12 = 12

⇒ x/12 = 12

⇒ x = 144

∴ The number is 144
