Given : In a city, the distance between the library and the police station is 3 miles less than twice the distance between the police station and the fire station. The distance between the library and the police station is 5 miles.

To find : How far apart are the police station and the fire station?

Solution :

Let the distance between police station and fire station be 'x'.

The distance between the library and the police station is 3 miles less than twice the distance between the police station and the fire station.

i.e. $2x-3$

The distance between the library and the police station is 5 miles.

i.e. $2x-3=5$

$2x=5+3$

$2x=8$

$x=4$

Therefore, The police and fire stations is 4 miles apart.

So, Option 3 is correct.
