• A. $35$
• B. $25$
• C. $15$
• D. $45$

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

$35$

B - 3 = E ............(i)
B + 3 = D ..........(ii)
A + B = D + E + 10 .........(iii)
B - 2 = C...........(iv)
From (iii) A + B = B + 3 + B - 3 + 10
or A + B = 2B + 10
or A = B + 10
B + 10 + B + B - 2 + B + 3 + B - 3 = 133
5B = 133 - 8, B = 25 Ans
