A. 84

B. 108

C. 144

D. None of these

Answer: Option C

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Let the number be x
Then,
$$\eqalign{ & \Leftrightarrow \frac{3}{4}x - \frac{1}{3}x = 60 \cr & \Leftrightarrow \frac{{5x}}{{12}} = 60 \cr & \Leftrightarrow x = \left( {\frac{{60 \times 12}}{5}} \right) \cr & \Leftrightarrow x = 144 \cr} $$
