Solution(By Examveda Team)

$$\eqalign{ & {\text{Let,}} \cr & {\text{853 + }}x \div 17 = 1000 \cr & {\text{Then,}} \cr & {\text{853 + }}\frac{x}{{17}} = 1000 \cr & \Leftrightarrow \frac{x}{{17}} = 1000 - 853 \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = 147 \cr & \Leftrightarrow x = 147 \times 17 \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = 2499 \cr} $$
