:
A and C
Let the number of rounds done by SUV be x, car be y, jeep be z and auto be p.
Thus the number of passengers transported will be 7x+5y+8z+2p .... (1)
Checking options respectively:
1→x=1,z=2,p=1
Substituting these in (1)
7+8 × 2+2=25.
So option A is correct.
2→x=2,y=2
Substituting these in (1)
7×2+85×2=24
So option B is incorrect.
3→x=1,y=2,z=1
Substituting these in (1)
7+5×2+8=25.
So option C is correct.
4→ Similarly substituting the values of option D. We will find number of people transported=26
