Bunuel · Answer

\frac{n}{41}=\frac{m}{41}+1  -->  \frac{n}{41}=\frac{m+41}{41}  -->  n=m+41  .

Answer: B.

StrikerT · Answer

Aren't options B and C same? Am I missing something. Kindly suggest.

KarishmaB · Answer

Yeah, that's a typo.

Another method is just put m = 0 and n = 41 so that n/41 is 1 more than m/41 (which is 0).
Now put m = 0 in all the options. The option that gives you 41 is the correct answer.

Could you please break it down for me

Bunuel · Answer

You mean algebra?

\frac{n}{41}=\frac{m}{41}+1 ;

\frac{n}{41}=\frac{m}{41}+\frac{41}{41} ;

\frac{n}{41}=\frac{m+41}{41} ;

n=m+41  .

Does this make sense?

Yes thanks a lot!!

ProKiller · Answer

Let n = 41.
That makes n = 0.
Plug these values in options.
Option B.
That's it.

Kinshook · Answer

Asked: If n/41 is 1 more than m/41, then n =

n/41 = 1 + m/41
n = 41 + m

IMO B

v12345 · Answer

n/41 is 1 more than m/41
n/41 = m/41 + 1
Multiplying by 41 on both sides,
n = m + 41

Hence, OA is (B).
