    white and yellow) in a taxi stand is 100. The number of black taxis is 80 more than that of yellow taxis. The total number of black and white taxis is 400. Find the number of white taxis in a taxi stand.
    A 400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    C 420 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 460 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the number of white taxis be ‘x’ Therefore, number of black taxis = (400 – x) Number of yellow taxis = (400 – x – 80) = (320 – x) According to the question, 320 – x + 400 – x + x = 100 × 3 Or, x = 420
