Let Vinod have x pencils.
\(\therefore\)2.5 × x - 1.75 × x = 110 + 55

Correct answer is: Rs. 600

Explanation: 

Let the labelled price of each sari be Rs. x.
According to the question,

\(\text{90% of x} = \frac{120 \times 450}{100}\)
\(\implies \frac{90 \times x}{100} = \frac{120 \times 450}{100}\)

\(\implies x = \frac{120 \times 450}{90}\)

= Rs. 600

ARs. 13.50

BRs. 13.25

CRs. 14.75

DRs. 14.85

Nithin ? Jul 31 '2022 at 19:29

Correct answer is : Rs. 14.85

Explanation:

Total weight of the mixture
= 40 + 25 = 65 kg

Total cost price of wheat
= Rs. (40 x 12.50 + 25 × 15.10)
= Rs. (500 + 377.50) = Rs. 877.50
Total selling price of wheat
= Rs.\(\frac{877.50 \times 110}{100}\)
= Rs. 965.25
\(\therefore\)SP per kg = Rs.\(\frac{965.25}{65}\)
= Rs. 14.85
