Dividing 3 A = 6 B and 1 4 C = 3 B we get, 1 4 C 3 A = 3 B 6 B 3 A = 2 8 C
On dividing 3 A = 2 8 C and 1 5 D = 7 C we get, 1 5 D 3 A = 7 C 2 8 C 5 D A = 4 A = 2 0 D
Good solution to my problem
Double 15D=7C to get 30D=14C=3B, then double again: 60D=28C=6B=3A, so 60D=3A, or 20D=A. And so, the answer is 20.
Nice solution
7C = 15D which means 30D = 14C also 14C = 3B which means 3B = 30D so 6B = 60D and 3A = 6B which means 3A = 60D and that means 1A = 20D

3 A 3 B 7 C = 6 B . . . . . . . . ( i ) = 1 4 C . . . . . . . . ( i i ) = 1 5 D . . . . . . . . ( i i i )
Dividinf ( i ) by ( i i )
3 B 3 A ⇒ B A ⇒ A ⇒ A ⇒ 5 A D ⇒ 2 0 D ⟹ A = 1 4 C 6 B = 7 C 3 B = 1 5 D 3 B 2 [ 7 C = 1 5 D from equation ( i i i ) ] = 5 D ( 2 A ) 2 [ B = 2 A from equation ( i ) ] = 4 A 2 = A A 2 = 2 0 D
Hence, the answer is 20.
