Let a,b,c,d be real numbers such that |a-b|=2, |b-c|=3, |c-d|=4 Then the sum of all possible values of |a-d|=A. `9`B. `18`C. `24`D. `30`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
`(b)` `|a-b|=2impliesa-b=+2`
`|b-c|=3impliesb-c=+-3`
`|c-d|=4impliesc-d=+-4`
Possible values of `a-d` are `+-9`, `+-5`, `+-3`, `+-1`
`:. |a-d|=9,5,3,1`
Sum `=18`
