When 20 is subtracted from a number , it reduces to seven- twelve of the number. What is the sum of the digit of the number?

Correct Answer: 12

Explanation:

Let the number be x.
According to question,
x - 20 = 7x/12
x - 7x/12 = 20
(12x - 7x)/12 = 20
5x/12 = 20
x = 20 x 12/5
x = 4 x 12
x = 48
Sum of the digits of 48 = 4 + 8 = 12
