Sum of the marks of four sisters A, B, C, and D is 45. When is added to the marks of A, 2 is subtracted from the marks of B, 2 is multiplied to the marks of C and the marks of D is divided by 2, the teacher get the same number.
Who scored highest marks?
- (a)
A
- (b)
D
- (c)
B
- (d)
Data insufficient
Let the marks of A, B, C and D are P, Q, R, and S respectively.
So, P + Q + R + S = 45 ...(i)
(P + 2) = (Q-2) = 2R = S/2 ...(ii)
Solving these we can get the answer.
D scored the highest marks.
