Correct Answer :

Option E

100

Solution :

The correct option is 100.

Let us solve the equation step-by-step to find the value that replaces the question mark (?). Let the unknown value be represented by x.

The given equation is:

20 %  of  ( 150 + x ) = 50

First, convert the percentage into a fraction:

20 % = 20 100 = 1 5

Now, substitute this fraction back into the equation:

1 5 × ( 150 + x ) = 50

Multiply both sides of the equation by 5 to isolate the term in the parentheses:

150 + x = 50 × 5

150 + x = 250

Subtract 150 from both sides to find the value of x:

x = 250 - 150

x = 100

Thus, the value that should come in place of the question mark is 100.
