Question 24

232

The sum of 12, 67, and 153 equals 232. This can be confirmed by performing the addition step-by-step: first adding 12 and 67 to get 79, and then adding 79 to 153, resulting in 232.

A) 212

Option A is incorrect because when adding 12, 67, and 153 together, the total does not equate to 212. A quick verification shows that the sum exceeds this value significantly.

B) 232

Option B is correct as it accurately represents the sum of 12, 67, and 153. The calculation confirms that this is the correct total.

C) 252

Option C is incorrect because it overstates the result of the addition. The correct sum is 232, which is 20 less than 252.

D) 289

Option D is incorrect as it significantly exceeds the actual sum of 12, 67, and 153. The total of these numbers is much lower than 289.

E) None of the Above

Option E is incorrect because Option B provides a valid answer. Therefore, the statement that none of the options are correct is not true.

Conclusion

The correct answer is 232, as confirmed by the calculation of the individual numbers. All other options fail to accurately represent the sum, either being too low or too high, which demonstrates the importance of precise arithmetic in problem-solving.
