Reetu has some articles, Geetu has 10 more articles & Jeetu has 10 more articles than what Reetu & Geetu collectively have. If total number of articles are 150 then how many articles Geetu possesses? Correct Answer 40

Given:

Geetu has 10 more articles than Reetu.

Jeetu has 10 more articles than what Reetu & Geetu collectively have.

The total number of articles is 150.

Calculations:

Let Reetu has 'x' no. of articles.

Number of articles of Geetu = x + 10

Number of articles of Jeetu = x + (x + 10) + 10

⇒ 2x + 20

Now, according to question

Geetu + Reetu + Jeetu = 150

⇒ (x) + (x + 10) + (2x + 20) = 150

⇒ x = 30

Number of articles of Geetu = 30 + 10 = 40

∴ Geetu has 40 articles.
