A railway station manager distributes 105 tokens among A, B, and C such that A gets twice as many as B, and B gets twice as many as C. How many tokens does A receive?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. 60 tokens
- Step 1: Let C get x tokens. Then B gets 2x, and A gets 2(2x) = 4x.
- Step 2: Total = 4x + 2x + x = 7x = 105 => x = 15.
- Step 3: A receives 4x = 4 * 15 = 60 tokens.
