  1. The sum of third , fourth and fifth part of a number exceeds half of the number by 34. Find the number?
    1. 60
    2. 120
    3. 30
    4. None of these
Correct Option: B

Let us assume N be the given number.
According to the question,
Sum of third , fourth and fifth part of a number exceeds half of the number by 34.
N/3 + N/4 + N/5 - 34 = N/2
N/3 + N/4 + N/5 - N/2 = 34
(20N + 15N + 12N - 30N)/60 = 34
17N/60 = 34
N = 34 x 60/17
N = 2 x 60
N = 120
