Correct option is B
Given:
Maximum value of Q = ?
Solution:
It can be written as:
(500 + 10P + 9) + (300 + 10R + 7) + (200 + 10Q + 8) = 1114
Now,
500 + 300 + 200 + 10P + 10R + 10Q + 9 + 7 + 8 = 1114
1000 + 10P + 10R + 10Q + 24 = 1114
1024 + 10P + 10R + 10Q = 1114
10P + 10R + 10Q = 90
P + R + Q = 9
The smallest possible values for P and R are both 0 (since they are single digits).
So, if P=0 and R=0, then:
Q = 9
Thus the maximum value of Q is 9.
