1. 200
2. 193
3. 180
4. 191

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : 193

Given:

Sum of two consecutive numbers = 1156

Calculation:

Let, first number = x

Second number is = x + 1

According to the question,

⇒ x + x + 1 = 1157

⇒ 2x + 1 = 1157

⇒ 2x = 1156

⇒ x = 578

Second number = x + 1 = 578 + 1 = 579

33.33% of Second number = 579 × 33.33% = 579 × (1/3) = 193

∴ 193
