Question:

The price of six different commodities for year 2009 and year 2011 are as follows:

Commodities A B C D E F
Price in 2009 (₹) 35 80 25 30 80 x
Price in 2011 (₹) 50 y 45 70 120 105

 

Options:

60

65

70

55

Correct Answer:

60

Explanation:

The correct answer is option (1) : 60

$∑p_0= 35+80+25+30+80+x=360$

$250+x=360$

$x=110$

$∑p_1= 50+y + 45+70+120+105=390+y$

Now, $\frac{390+y}{360}×100= 125$

$390+y = \frac{125×36}{10}$

$y = 60$
