Option 3: 450
Option 4: 675
Correct Answer: 540
Solution :
Given: When a number is increased by 216, it becomes 140% of itself.
Let the number be 100%.
Becoming 140% of itself means increasing by 40%
Here, 40% is equivalent to 216
⇒ 100% is equivalent to ($\frac{216}{40}$ × 100) = 540
Hence, the correct answer is 540.
