Given, 4/7 of a quantity is 24
Then  5/6  of the same quantity is = (5/6)*24/(4/7)
                                   = (5/6)*24*(7/4)
                                   = 35
Another Method
Let the quantity be x.
Given, (4/7)x = 24
            x = 24*(7/4)
            x = 6*7
            x = 42
Therefore (5/6)x = (5/6)*42 = 5*7 = 35
