A number is much greater than 21 as is less than 71 . the number is ?

A. 41

B. 39

C. 49

D. 46

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Let number is X greater than 21 and X less than 71.
Now according to question,
21 +X = 71 - X
2X = 50

X = 25
So, Required number is 21+X = 21 +25 = 46.

Alternatively,
The required number would be the average or mean of 21 and 71. So
Required number = (21 +71)/2 = 46.

    Let ,the number be x.

    From the question,
    x-21=71-x
    or, 2x=92
    ans:x=46[46-21=25,
    71-46=25]

    short cut:
    required number
    =(71+21)/2
    =46
