    A 126 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 136 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 116 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 110 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the number of white taxis be ‘x’ Therefore, number of black taxis = (280 – x) Number of yellow taxis = (280 – x – 24) = (256 – x) According to the question, 256 – x + 280 – x + x = 140 × 3 Or, x = 116
