Correct answer: B. 12
Explanation
Let Srishti = x, so Sagun = 2x − 4. Then x(2x − 4) = 240 → x² − 2x − 120 = 0 → (x − 12)(x + 10) = 0 → x = 12. Check: Sagun = 20, and 12 × 20 = 240.माना सृष्टि = x, तो सगुन = 2x − 4। तब x(2x − 4) = 240 → x² − 2x − 120 = 0 → (x − 12)(x + 10) = 0 → x = 12। जाँच: सगुन = 20, और 12 × 20 = 240।More Mathematical Reasoning and Aptitude questions
