The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the three-digit number based on the given statements, we will analyze each statement step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement I The first statement says, "Three-fifth of that number is less than that number by 90." Let's denote the three-digit number as \( x \). According to the statement, we can write the equation: \[ \frac{3}{5}x = x - 90 \] ### Step 2: Solve the Equation from Statement I Now, let's solve the equation: 1. Rearranging the equation gives: \[ x - \frac{3}{5}x = 90 \] 2. Simplifying the left side: \[ \frac{2}{5}x = 90 \] 3. Multiplying both sides by \( \frac{5}{2} \) to isolate \( x \): \[ x = 90 \times \frac{5}{2} = 90 \times 2.5 = 225 \] ### Step 3: Check if \( x \) is a Three-Digit Number The number we found is \( 225 \), which is indeed a three-digit number. ### Step 4: Analyze Statement II The second statement says, "One-fourth of that number is 25% of that number." We can express this mathematically as: \[ \frac{1}{4}x = 0.25x \] ### Step 5: Simplify Statement II 1. Since \( 0.25 \) is equivalent to \( \frac{1}{4} \), the equation simplifies to: \[ \frac{1}{4}x = \frac{1}{4}x \] 2. This is always true for any value of \( x \) and does not help us find a specific three-digit number. ### Conclusion From the analysis: - Statement I is sufficient to determine the three-digit number, which is \( 225 \). - Statement II does not provide any new information to find the number. Thus, the answer to the question is that only Statement I is sufficient. ### Final Answer The answer is **Option A**: Statement I alone is sufficient, while Statement II alone is not sufficient. ---
