Read Solution (3) :

hello  (6 years ago)

x+y+z=40 ..... eq(1)
12x+25y+15z=710 ..... eq(2)

15*eq1 - eq2 =>
3x-10y=-110

as 10y and -110 are multiples of 10 so x should be a multiple of 10
so if x=10,y=14,z=16
if x=20,y=17,z=3
as copies of z are more so x=10,y=14,z=16

answer is 26,
x+y+z=40
12x+25y+15z=710,
on solving and eliminating y term that is business today we get the following equation,
13x+10z=290,
now observe the values for x and z such that they satisfy the above equation keeping in mind that z is always greater than the other three, only combination possible is 16 and 10 where z=16 and x=10
hence answer is 16+10=26
