Question : If A is greater than B by 7, B is greater than C by 16, and A + B + C is 255, then the value of 3A + C – 4B is:
Option 1: 5
Option 2: 10
Option 3: 8
Option 4: 4
Correct Answer: 5
Solution : According to the question, A = B + 7 B = C + 16 Then, C = B – 16 Putting the value of A and C in the given equation A + B + C = 255 ⇒ (B + 7) + B + (B – 16) = 255 ⇒ 3B – 9 = 255 ⇒ 3B = 255 + 9 ⇒ 3B = 264 ⇒ B = $\frac{264}{3}$ = 88 Since A = B + 7 = 88 + 7 = 95 And C = B – 16 = 88 – 16 = 72 Now value of 3A + C – 4B = 3(95) + 72 – 4(88) = 285 + 72 – 352 = 357 – 352 = 5 Hence, the correct answer is 5.
