Question:

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?

Options:

31,780

32,270

33,500

25,875

Correct Answer:

25,875

Explanation:

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.
