Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

The difference between 80% and 62% of a number is 198.

Let the number be xx.

80% of x−62% of x=19880\% \text{ of } x - 62\% \text{ of } x = 198

0.80x−0.62x=1980.80x - 0.62x = 198

0.18x=1980.18x = 198

x=1980.18x = \dfrac{198}{0.18}

x=1100x = 1100


The difference between 92% and 56% of the number:

92% of 1100−56% of 110092\% \text{ of } 1100 - 56\% \text{ of } 1100

=(92%−56%) of 1100= (92\% - 56\%) \text{ of } 1100

=36% of 1100= 36\% \text{ of } 1100

=0.36×1100= 0.36 \times 1100

=396= 396

Therefore, the difference between 92% and 56% of the number is 396.
