Question

Meena, Beena, and Leena are climbing the step to the hilltop. Meena is at step $s$, Beena is $8$ steps ahead, and Leena $7$ steps behind. where are Beena and Meena $?$ The total number of steps to the hilltop is $10$ less than $4$ times what Meena has reached. Express the total number of steps using $s$.

Answer 1

Meena is at step $=s$

She at which Beena is = (step at which Meen is) $+8$

$=S+8$

Step at which Leena is = (steps at which Meena is ) $-7$

$=S-7$

Total steps $=4\times$ (step at which meena is) $-7$

$=S-7$

Total steps $=4\times$ (steps at which Meena is ) $-10$

$=4s–10$
