Anagha, Sushant and Faizal are climbing the steps to a hill top. Anagha is at the step p. Sushant is 10 steps ahead and Faizal is 6 steps behind Anagha. Where are Sushant and Faizal? The total number of steps to the hill top is 3 steps less than 8 times what Anagha has reached. Express the total number of steps using p.

Answer»

Anagha is at step p. 

Sushant is 10 steps ahead of Anagha. That is, he is at the step p + 10.

Faizal is 6 steps behind Anagha. 

That is, he is at step p – 6. 

8 times of p = 8p 

3 less than 8p = 8p – 3 

So, the total number of steps = 8 p – 3
