Let's say the no is X X÷15= Y+14 X÷16= Z+15 If Y=X+1 And Z= X+1 We will get the no which is directly divisible by 15 and 16. So we calculate the Lowest common multiple of 15 and 16. We get 240. Now we need to subtract 1 from it to get the exact no. Therefore the answer is 239

Let's say the no is X

X÷15= Y+14

X÷16= Z+15

If Y=X+1

And Z= X+1

We will get the no which is directly divisible by 15 and 16.

So we calculate the Lowest common multiple of 15 and 16. We get 240.

Now we need to subtract 1 from it to get the exact no.

Therefore the answer is 239

Calculate HCF of 15, 16 = 240. Now 240 is divisible by 15 and 16 both. if we subtract 1 from 240 as 15-14 = 1 and 16-15 = 1. 239 is the required number.

If increasing 20 by P percentage gives the same result as decreasing 60 by P percentage,What is P percentage of 70?
Increasing 20 by P% => x=20+20.P/100 Decreasing 60 by P% => y=60-60.P/100 Acoording to the question, x=y => 20+20.P/100=60-60.P/100 Solving we get P=50 So, P% of 70=50% of 70=35 So, answer is 35
