Question:

If X : Y = 13 : 12 and X − Y = 2, then what is value of 2X + 3Y?

Options:

144

120

124

136

Correct Answer:

124

Explanation:

Given,

x : y = 13 : 12 and

X – Y = 2

According to the question,

13m – 12m = 2

= m = 2

 The value of X = 13m = 26

= The value of Y = 12m = 24

= 2X + 3Y = 52 + 72 = 124
