Options:

₹120

₹150

₹90

₹100

Correct Answer:

₹100

Explanation:

The number of roses, lilies and sunflowers sold from that shop on that day were 7, 5, and 10, respectively

Profit = Selling price - Cost price

Sum of profit earned by selling a rose , a lily and a sunflower on that day

= \(\frac{800 - 450}{7}\) + \(\frac{720 - 540}{7}\) + \(\frac{630 - 490}{7}\) 

= \(\frac{350}{7}\) + \(\frac{180}{5}\) + \(\frac{140}{10}\)

= 50 + 36 + 14

= 100
