Question

Gate 1 is 14 feet longer than Gate 2 and 6 feet shorter than Gate 3. The length of Gate 2 is 15 feet. What is the length of Gate 3?

• A. $41\text{feet}$
• B. $33\text{feet}$
• C. $35\text{feet}$
• D. $25\text{feet}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $35\text{feet}$

Length of Gate 2 $=15\text{feet}$
Length of Gate 1 = 14 feet more than Gate 2
$=(15+14)\text{feet}=29\text{feet}$
Length of Gate 1 is 6 feet shorter than Gate 3.
So, Gate 3 is 6 feet longer than Gate 1.
Length of Gate $3=29+6=35\text{feet}$
Therefore, the length of Gate 3 is 35 feet.
