If four times a number plus 3 is 11, what is the number?

A. 4

B. 5

C. 16

D. 2

It is very important to read the question very minutely before going for solving the problem.

Let us assume the unknown number to be = x

Then

4x + = 11

4x = 11 - 3

4x = 8

x = 8/4

= 2

So we can see from the above deduction that the unknown number is 2. The correct option among all the options given in the question is option "D". I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.
