A bus standing from stop A is carrying a certain number of passengers. At the next stop B, 1/3rd of the passengers alight and 18 new passengers get in. At the next stop C, 3/4th of the remaining passengers alight and 12 new passengers get in after which there are 25 passengers in the bus. How many passengers were there in the bus when it left the stop A?

• Let the number of passengers in bus stop A=x
  At B, x-x/3+18
  At c. 2x/3 + 18 - 3/4(2x/3 + 18) + 12 =25;
  solve to get x=51.

• total number of passengers=x
  at stoppage b 1/3rd left so remaining passengers in the bus=2/3of x + 18 new
  at stoppage c 3/4th of the passengers left so the remaining passengers= 1/4of(2/3 of x +18) +12 new, which is equal to 25
  so on solving for stoppage c, we get x=51

• after leaving Stop A: let initial number of passengers be=x
  at Stop B: x-x/3=2x/3 (Remaining) and also 18 came in so total=(2x/3)+18=(2x+54)/3
  at Stop C: 3/4 of (2x+54)/3 get out, so remaining=(2x+54)/3-(2x+54)/3*3/4=(2x+54)/12. Now 12 passenger also get in so (2x+54)/12+12.
  now it is given that total passenger bus are 25 so (2x+54)/12+12=25.
  hence x=51 passengers were there in bus when it left Stop A.

• Bus carries x people at A
  1. x-1/3x + 18 = 2/3x + 18 at B
  2. 2/3x-3/4x +18 + 12 = 25 at C
  So, -x/12 = 25-30
  thus, x/12 = 5
  no of people at A = 12*5=60

• let X number of passengers at A.
  at stop B=X-(1/3)X+18
  at stop C,the passengers,Y=(1/4)(2/3X + 18)
  Y+12=25
  by solving this,X=54

• x members
  x-(x/3)+18-(3/4)+12=25
  x=36

• @ stop A
  ---------------
  let there be x passengers.
  
  @ stop B
  -------------
  no: of passengers = x-(x/3)+18
  = (2x/3)+18
  
  @ stop C
  ---------------
  
  no: of passengers= (2x/3)+18-(3((2x/3)+18)/4)+12=25
  Therefore x=17
  
  Hence, no: of passengers at stop A= 17
