    C 55 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 57 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the number of white taxis be ‘x’ Therefore, number of black taxis = (300 – x) Number of yellow taxis = (300 – x – 65) = (235 – x) According to the question, 235 – x + 300 – x + x = 160 × 3 Or, x = 55
