Question 98

Which of the following statements is true?

Solution

Let a,d,j,g be the shots put by Ashish, Dhanraj, Ganesh and Jugraj respectively.

According to given conditions we have ,
g = a-8; d + r = 37; j = d + 8; a = 5 + d; a + g = 40

Solving these equations, we have a = 24, d = 19 and j = 27 and r = 18. Hence option A is the correct answer.
