Question:

Six tables and twelve chairs were bought for ₹7800. If the average price of a table is ₹750, then the average price of a chair would be:

Options:

₹250

₹275

₹260

₹280

Correct Answer:

₹275

Explanation:

Cost of (6 tables) + (12 chairs) = 7800 ..... (i)

Average price of table = 750

⇒ Average price = \(\frac{cost\;of\;6\;tables}{6}\)

⇒ 750 = \(\frac{cost\;of\;6\;tables}{6}\)

⇒ Cost of 6 tables = 750 × 6 = 4500

 

In equation (i);

⇒ 4500 + cost of 12 chairs = 7800

⇒ Cost of 12 chairs = 7800 - 4500 = 3300

Average price of a chair = \(\frac{3300}{12}\) = Rs.275
