Question:

A man bought 15 articles at ₹70 each, 13 at ₹60 each and 12 at ₹65 each. The average price per article (in ₹) is:

Options:

65.25

63.25

65.00

65.75

Correct Answer:

65.25

Explanation:

Cost of 15 articles 

15 × 70 = Rs.1050

Cost of 13 articles

13 × 60 = Rs.780

Cost of 12 articles

12 × 65 = 780

The average price of the article = \(\frac{1050 + 780 +780}{15 + 13 + 12}\) = \(\frac{d}{d}\) = 65.25
