Question

Raj has some bananas, Rohan has 5 more than Raj. Manvi says that she has 3 more bananas than the number of bananas Raj and Rohan have together. How many bananas does Manvi have?

• A. x + 7
• B. 2x + 7
• C. x + 8
• D. 2x + 8

Answer 1

The correct option is D 2x + 8

Let Raj have x bananas.
So, the number of bananas Rohan has $=x+5$
Number of bananas that Raj and Rohan together have $=x+(x+5)$
Manvi has 3 more bananas than Raj and Rohan together have.
$\therefore$ The number of bananas with Manvi
$=x+(x+5)+3=2x+8$
