Correct Answer - Option 2 : 1896
Given:
A number is increased by 37.5%
Calculation:
37.5% = 37.5/100 = 3/8
We take original number = 8x,
Thus, if increased by 37.5%, number becomes 8x + 3x = 11x
Also, given new number = 2607
⇒ 11x = 2607
⇒ x = 237
Also, New number : original number = 11x : 8x
Thus, original number = 8x = 8 × 237 = 1896
