The average price of three items is Rs.17,250 . If their price is in the ratio 2 : 3 : 5 , then the price of the costliest item is?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
Total price = 17,250 × 3 = 51,750
2R + 3R + 5R = 10R
10R = 51,750
1R = \(\frac{51750}{10}\)
5R = \(\frac{51750 × 5}{10}\) = 25,875
The price of the costliest item is Rs. 25,875.
