1. 11,800
2. 9,780
3. 10,800
4. 12,800

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : 10,800

Given:

Difference between the 30% of a number and 22% of the same number = 4800

Calculation:

Let the number be P

According to the question,

30% of P – 22% of P = 4800

⇒ 8% of P = 4800

⇒ P = 60,000

And, 18% of P = (18/100) × 60,000 = 10,800

∴ 18% of P is 10,800
