Question

The number of fruits in a fruit shop is given as 5p + 2q + 3r, where p, q and r denote the number of apples, pineapples and oranges respectively. Which of the following gives the total number of fruits, when p = 2, q = 5, and r = 5?

• A. 30
• B. 35
• C. 40
• D. 45

Answer 1

The correct option is B 35

The given expression is 5p + 2q + 3r.

Substituting p = 2, q = 5, and r = 5,
we get,

5(2) + 2(5) + 3(5) = 10 + 10 + 15 = 35

Hence, the total number of fruits is 35.
