Option 1: 20

Option 2: –10

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 20


Solution : Given: $x(x+y+z)=20$, $y(x+y+z)=30$, and $z(x+y+z)=50$
Adding all the equations,
⇒ $x(x+y+z) + y(x+y+z) + z(x+y+z) = 20+30+50$
⇒ $(x+y+z)^{2} = 100$
⇒ $(x+y+z) = 10$
Thus, $2(x+y+z) = 20$
Hence, the correct answer is 20.
