The average price of three items is Rs 17,250. If their prices are in the ratio 2 : 3 : 5, what is the price of the costliest item?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → Rs 25,875
The average gives the total price (average \(\times\) number of items); the ratio then splits that total.
Total price \(=3\times17250=\) Rs 51,750
Parts \(=2+3+5=10\), so 1 part \(=\) Rs 5175
Costliest item \(=5\times5175=\) Rs 25,875
The costliest item costs Rs 25,875.
