Answer 1

Answer:120

Explanation:

3+9+27+81

Answer 2

Answer: Second Option is correct.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of readers = 3

Each of them forwarded the same email to number of readers = 3

So, our equation becomes

`3+9`

Similarly, each of them again forwarded the same email to number of readers = 3

So, our equation becomes

`3+9+27`

Again each of them forwarded the same email to number of readers = 3.

So, our equation becomes

`3+9+27+81`

So, Number of people have read that email is given by

`3+9+27+81=120`

Hence, Second Option is correct.
