$$N\,\, = \,\,\,\# \,\,{\rm{friends}}$$
$$? = 4N - T$$

$$\left( 1 \right)\,\,T = 2N + 25\,\,\,\,\left\{ \matrix{
\,{\rm{Take}}\,\,\left( {N,T} \right) = \left( {20,65} \right)\,\,\,\,\, \Rightarrow \,\,\,\,{\rm{?}}\,\,{\rm{ = }}\,\,15 \hfill \cr
\,{\rm{Take}}\,\,\left( {N,T} \right) = \left( {25,75} \right)\,\,\,\,\, \Rightarrow \,\,\,\,{\rm{?}}\,\,{\rm{ = }}\,\,25\,\, \hfill \cr} \right.$$
$$\left( 2 \right)\,\,T + 15 = 3N\,\,\,\,\left\{ \matrix{
\,{\rm{Take}}\,\,\left( {N,T} \right) = \left( {20,45} \right)\,\,\,\,\, \Rightarrow \,\,\,\,{\rm{?}}\,\,{\rm{ = }}\,\,35 \hfill \cr
\,{\rm{Take}}\,\,\left( {N,T} \right) = \left( {25,60} \right)\,\,\,\,\, \Rightarrow \,\,\,\,{\rm{?}}\,\,{\rm{ = }}\,\,40\,\, \hfill \cr} \right.$$
$$\left( {1 + 2} \right)\,\,\,\left\{ \matrix{
\,T + 15 = 3N \hfill \cr
\,T = 2N + 25\,\,\,\left( * \right) \hfill \cr} \right.\,\,\,\,\,\,\mathop \Rightarrow \limits^{\left( - \right)} \,\,\,\,\,15 = N - 25\,\,\,\,\, \Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,N = 40\,\,\,\,\,\mathop \Rightarrow \limits^{\left( * \right)} \,\,\,\,\,T = 105\,\,\,\,\,\, \Rightarrow \,\,\,\,{\rm{SUFF}}.$$


The correct answer is (C).


We follow the notations and rationale taught in the GMATH method.

Regards,
Fabio.
