Detailed Solution

Concept- Utilize the idea that 1/3 of 1/4 of a number a will be.

. To obtain the value of the above expression, we just need to build an equation using it.
We have determined the answer to the query as the number such that one-third of one fourth of a number equals twelve.
Let

a

be the necessary number. Now that we are aware of how to multiply a number and a fraction to obtain a result, we can easily determine any fraction of a given number. Therefore, we intend to argue that a number's fourth is provided by

It is also well known that multiplying the two fractions will get the answer if we are attempting to determine the fraction of any given fraction. Therefore, we may also claim that a number can be fractional.
Therefore, if we calculate the fourth of a number, we obtain

Moreover, when we determine the third of the fourth of a number, we will have

Given that a third of a fourth of a number is equal to 12, we will arrive at the equation that will be shown as follows.

Therefore, 144 is the last number we need.
Hence, the correct answer is option 2.
