Question: A, B, C, D and E play a game of cards. A says to B, “If you give me 3 cards, you will have as many as I have at this moment while if D takes 5 cards from you, he will have as many as E has.” A and C together have twice as many cards as E has. B and D together also have the same number of cards as A and C taken together. If together they have 150 cards, how many cards has C got ?
[A].

28

[B].

29

[C].

31

[D].

35

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Clearly, we have :

A = B – 3 …(i)

D + 5 = E …(ii)

A+C = 2E …(iii)

B + D = A+C = 2E …(iv)

A+B + C + D + E=150 …(v)

From (iii), (iv) and (v), we get: 5E = 150 or E = 30.

Putting E = 30 in (ii), we get: D = 25.

Putting E = 30 and D = 25 in (iv), we get: B = 35.

Putting B = 35 in (i), we get: A = 32.

Putting A = 32 and E = 30 in (iii), we get: C = 28.

[D].

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Clearly, we have :

B-3 = E …(i)

B + 3 = D …(ii)

A+B = D + E+10 …(iii)

B = C + 2 …(iv)

A+B + C + D + E= 133 …(v)

From (i) and (ii), we have : 2 B = D + E …(vi)

From (iii) and (vi), we have : A = B + 10 …(vii)

Using (iv), (vi) and (vii) in (v), we get:

(B + 10) + B + (B – 2) + 2B = 133 5B = 125 B = 25.
