A bike owner buys petrol at ₹64, ₹80 and ₹320 per litre for three consecutive years. What is the average cost per litre of petrol if he spends ₹32000 each year? |
₹120 ₹84 ₹108 ₹96 |
₹96 |
Petrol consumption in 1st year = \(\frac{32000}{64}\) = 500 litres Petrol consumption in 2nd year = \(\frac{32000}{80 }\) = 400 litres Petrol consumption in 3rd year = \(\frac{32000}{320}\) = 100 litres Total petrol consumption in 3 years = 500 + 400 + 100 = 1000 litres Average cost = \(\frac{3 × 32000 }{1000}\) = Rs96 |
