Answer:

Hi! I think I got the answer, it is a tricky one! The answer I got was C) 1029.

Explanation:

1. It is good to first know that 40%more means 1.4 (some number). So, if n is 40% more than the sum of the other three numbers: n= 1.4* (l +m+p) .

2. Also note that: n+l+m+p= 1764; so, n = 1764-l-m-p.

3. Since we have two expressions for n, we can equate them to each other. Giving, 1.4* (l +m+p) =1764-l-m-p . Simplifying we get 2.4 (l +m+p)=1764.

4. l +m+p =1764/2=735.

5. 1764-735=1029

Hope that helps! Feel free to message back if there are any questions!
