Correct Answer :

Option D

30

Solution :

The correct option is 30.

Step 1: Write down the given algebraic expressions.

We are given four algebraic expressions:

A=3x28x+11

B=2x2+12x

C=4x2+7

D=x2x11

Step 2: Find the expression for (A + B + C).

Combine the like terms of A, B, and C:

A+B+C=(3x28x+11)+(2x2+12x)+(4x2+7)

Grouping the terms by powers of x:

A+B+C=(324)x2+(8+12)x+(11+7)

A+B+C=3x2+4x+18

Step 3: Subtract D from (A + B + C).

Now, calculate (A + B + C) − D:

(A+B+C)D=(3x2+4x+18)(x2x11)

Distribute the negative sign through the expression for D:

(A+B+C)D=3x2+4x+18x2+x+11

Group and combine like terms:

(A+B+C)D=(31)x2+(4+1)x+(18+11)

(A+B+C)D=4x2+5x+29

Step 4: Compare with px2 + qx + r to find p, q, and r.

We are given that:

(A+B+C)D=px2+qx+r

Equating coefficients of like powers of x:

p = -4
q = 5
r = 29

Step 5: Calculate the value of (p + q + r).

p+q+r=4+5+29

p+q+r=1+29=30

Thus, the required value of (p + q + r) is 30.
