  • A 6\(\frac{1}{3}\)
  • B 20
  • C 21
  • D 176\(\frac{4}{9}\)
  • E None of the above
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation:
y = \(\frac{4x}{9}\) + 1, z = \(\frac{4y}{9}\) + 1, z = \(\frac{4}{9}\)(\(\frac{4}{9}\) x + 1) + 1
= [\(\frac{4}{9}\)(\(\frac{4}{9}\)(99) + 1]
= \(\frac{4}{9}\)(45) + 1
= 21
