Solution

The correct option is C $6$
Given, $3 (2 y + 4) = 8 y$

$\Rightarrow 6 y + 12 = 8 y$ ...[By Distribution Law].

Transposing $y$ terms to one side, we get,
$\Rightarrow 12 = 8 y - 6 y$

$\Rightarrow 2 y = 12$

$\Rightarrow y = 6$ .

Hence, option $E$ is correct.

\frac{5 y - 4}{8} - \frac{y - 3}{5} = \frac{y + 6}{4}

2 x + 3 y + 4 z = 16

3 x + 2 y - 5 z = 8

5 x - 6 y + 3 z = 6

\frac{2}{x} + \frac{3}{y} = 2; \frac{8}{x} - \frac{6}{y} = 2

\frac{x}{4} = \frac{y}{2} = \frac{z}{1}

\frac{x - 4}{1} = \frac{y - 5}{4} = \frac{z - 9}{2}

\frac{x + 8}{4} = \frac{y + 6}{2} = \frac{z - 2}{1}
