Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(+12^0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Hints: \(\frac{\mathrm{A}-42}{110}=\frac{\mathrm{B}-72}{220}, \mathrm{~A}=\mathrm{B}\) \(\frac{A-42}{110}=\frac{A-72}{220}\) \(\begin{aligned} & 2 \mathrm{A}-84=\mathrm{A}-72 \\ & \mathrm{~A}=12 \end{aligned}\)
