A. $$\frac{5}{12}$$

B. $$\frac{12}{5}$$

C. $$\frac{25}{144}$$

D. $$\frac{144}{25}$$

Answer: Option A

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Let the number be x
Then,
$$\eqalign{ & \frac{2}{3}x = \frac{25}{216} \times \frac{1}{x} \cr & \Leftrightarrow {x^2} = \frac{{25}}{{216}} \times \frac{3}{2} \cr & \Leftrightarrow {x^2} = \frac{{25}}{{144}} \cr & \Leftrightarrow x = \sqrt {\frac{{25}}{{144}}} \cr & \Leftrightarrow x = \frac{5}{{12}} \cr} $$
