The correct answer is: 5


In consistent adding Eqs. (i) and (iii), we get
$$
2 x+2 y=4 \Rightarrow x+y=2
$$
put in Eq. (i)
$$
2+z=3 \Rightarrow z=1
$$
Then,
$$
\begin{aligned}
& 2 x_0+2 y_0+z_0 \\
& =2\left(x_0+y_0\right)+z_0 \\
& =2 \times 2+1 \quad \left[\because x+y=2 \Rightarrow x_0+y_0=2\right] \\
& =5
\end{aligned}
$$
