Solution (By Examveda Team)
Let the number be 'x'
Then according to question
x/25 = x - 120
therefore, x = 25x - 120 * 25
therefore, x = (120 * 25 ) / 24
i.e x = 125.
so answer is 125.
125
Hello, Sharmi,
Read the question, the condition is, if the number is divide by 25, it diminishes by 120.
It means, if number is X (say). Then it must be
X/25 = X -120.
Got it?
how x/25 = x-120 (both equal)
Thanks kalpana...

let the number is x
so according to question number x=25*n+120 where n any integer 1,2,3..
from option we can see that if n=1 then number x=125
