R = titles of Robert
D = titles of David
$$3*(R-15)=D+15$$
$$D-15=R+15$$

You solve this and obtain $$R=45$$ and $$D=75$$, it's not B and here we can see why:

b.$$R=60$$ so $$3*(60-15)=D+15$$ $$D=120$$, then the second equation doesn't "work"

M = rate of work of men
b = rate of work of boys

$$(4M+6B)*20 days= 1 job$$
$$(3M+4B)*28 = 1 job$$

$$80M+120B=1$$
$$84M+112B=1$$ so dome math...

$$M=\frac{1}{140}$$
$$B=\frac{1}{280}$$ those are the rate of work (each hour).

$$7 boys = 7*\frac{1}{128}=\frac{7}{128}$$ each hour
To complete one job 1 $$job = time*\frac{7}{280}$$ now this time is $$\frac{280}{7}$$ hour that is none of your answers
If the question were about men
$$7 men = 7*\frac{1}{140}=\frac{7}{140}$$
To complete one job 1 $$job = time*\frac{7}{140}$$ now this time is $$\frac{140}{7}$$ = 20 A

IMO C
lets put that in equation.
No. of students in one row=x
No. of rows=y
Total students=xy.
1st equation:
(x+1)(y-2)=xy i.e. xy-2x+y-2 =xy i.e. -2x+y=2
2nd Equation
(x-1)(y+3)=xy i.e. xy+3x-y-3 =xy i.e. 3x-y=3

adding 1st and second equation we get x=5
putting x=5 in any of the equation we get y=12

so total number of Students should be xy = 5*12 = 60

R u sure OA is D?

Think of the students standing in a matrix of rows and columns.

There are r rows and c columns. So there are a total of rc students.

Algebra approach:

Now if there is 1 student extra in each row i.e. there is one column extra, no of rows will be r-2 rows.
If there is 1 student less in each row, i.e. there is one column less, no of rows will be r+3 rows.

(r - 2)(c + 1) = rc
(r + 3)(c - 1) = rc

r - 2c = 2
-r + 3c = 3

c = 5
r = 12

Total number of students = 5*12 = 60
