Answer

To solve this kind of Puzzle, you need to apply common sense, use the simultaneous equation method and apply BODMAS at the end. That's the trick in it.

So, first equation: A+A+A=3

Implies 3A = 3

Implies A=3÷3

Therefore A = 1

Second equation:B+B+A=5

B+B+1= 5 ( value of A =1 from equation 1).

2B = 5-1

B = 2.

Third equation:C+C+B=8

2C +2 = 8

2C = 8-2

C = 3.

Therefore the value of A= 1

B = 2

C = 3.

I will substitute the values above in the final equation.

Final equation: A+B×C=?

Implies 1+2×3 =?

Implies 1+ 6 =?(Apply BODMAS)

Implies 7 =?.

Therefore the correct answer to A+A+A=3

B+B+A=5

C+C+B=8

A+B×C=?, Is 7.

Some people will take 1+2= 3, then 3×3= 9 which is wrong.
