A. 120

B. 150

C. 180

Answer: Option D

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Note : In percentage always assume data. Which make your Calculation easier.
60% $$\frac{3}{5}$$
Let the number = 5x
Accounting to the question,
⇒ 5x × $$\frac{3}{5}$$ - 60 = 60
⇒ x = $$\frac{120}{3}$$
⇒ x = 40
Hence, required number :
= 5x
= 5 × 40
= 200
