If $A+B=96$ and $A$ is half of $B$, then the value of $A$ will be

(a)22

(b)32

(c)48

(d)64

Answer

Answer (as printed): B

Explanation

$A+B=96 \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2} B+B=96 \Rightarrow \frac{3}{2} B=96 \Rightarrow B=\left(96 \times \frac{2}{3}\right)=64$. $$\therefore \quad A=\left(\frac{1}{2} \times 64\right)=32 .$$
