  • Question
  • If a+b=5 and 3a+2b=20,then (3a+b)will be :


  • Options
  • A. 20
  • B. 15
  • C. 25
  • D. 30

  • Correct Answer
  • 25 

    Explanation

    a+b=5   ...(1)    and    3a+2b=20 ...(2)

     

    Multiplying (1) by 2 and subtracting from (2), we get : a=10.

     

    Putting a=10 in (1), we get : b=-5

     

    Therefore,   (3a+b) = 3 x 10+(-5)=30-5=25.
