Solution

The correct option is D - 201
3(x + y + xy) + xyz - 2xy - 30
= 3x + 3y + 3xy + xyz - 2xy - 30
Grouping like terms together, we get
= 3x + 3y + (3xy - 2xy) + xyz - 30
= 3x + 3y + xyz + xy - 30 ---(1)

Substituting x = 6, y = - 7, z = 4 in the equation (1),
= {3(6) + 3(-7) + (6)(-7)(4) + (6)(-7) - 30}
=3×63×7+6×(7)×4+6×(7)30
