Question

If \(3x+6y+9z = \dfrac{20}{3}, 6x+9y + 3z = \dfrac{17}{3}\)  and  \(18x+ 27y - z = \dfrac{113}{9}\) , then what is the value of  \(75x+113y \ ?\)

This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2017 (Tier 1) Previous Year Paper (16-Aug-2017) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

163/3

Step 1 — Add E1 and E2: \(9x+15y+12z=\tfrac{37}{3}\).

Step 2 — Eliminate z using E3: Multiply this by 1 and combine with \(12\cdot E3\); solving the system gives \(x=\tfrac{2}{9},\ y=\tfrac{1}{3}\) (verified in E1).

Step 3 — Compute:

\[75x+113y=75\cdot\tfrac{2}{9}+113\cdot\tfrac{1}{3}=\tfrac{50}{3}+\tfrac{113}{3}=\dfrac{163}{3}\]
