B. 216

C. 246

D. 336

Answer: Option B

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Let the number be x
Then,
$$\eqalign{ & \Leftrightarrow \frac{2}{3}x - 50 = \frac{1}{4}x + 40 \cr & \Leftrightarrow \frac{2}{3}x - \frac{1}{4}x = 90 \cr & \Leftrightarrow \frac{{5x}}{{12}} = 90 \cr & \Leftrightarrow x = \left( {\frac{{90 \times 12}}{5}} \right) \cr & \Leftrightarrow x = 216 \cr} $$
