By what number must the given number be multiplied to increase the number by 50 %.

3/2

2/3

4/3

3/4

Let the number be m

Increase in its value = 50 % of m

= 50/100 × m = m/2

Therefore, increase value = m + m/2

= (2m + m)/2 = 3m/2

Therefore, the given number must be multiplied by 3/2 to increase the number by 50 %.

Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.
