I. 18y
II. 3y + 20z
III. (4y + 10z)/3

(A) I only
(B) II only
(C) III only
(D) I and II only
(E) I and III only

\(\frac{20z}{4z}\) * x = 5x
3y + 20z = x + 5x = 6x (Must be True)

III.\(\frac{(4y + 10z )}{3}\)
\((\frac{4}{3}x + \frac{10}{4}x )/3\) =\((\frac{4}{3}x + \frac{5}{2}x)/3\) =\((\frac{8x + 15x}{6})/3\) =\(\frac{23x}{18}\) (Not True)
