Therefore, Cost Price = Rs.100x = Rs.100*7 = Rs.700

Selling Price of P = Cost Price of Q = 95% of Rs.100x = Rs.95x 

Selling Price of Q = Cost Price of R = 80% of Rs.95x = Rs.76x 

Given, Cost Price of R = Rs.2812 

Rs.76R = Rs.2812 

=> R = 37 

Therefore, Cost Price of P = Rs.100x = Rs.100*37 = Rs.3700. 

 

Q. 73 The average monthly expenditure of a family is ₹ 8160 for first 2 months, ₹ 12780 for next 5 months and ₹ 14280 for 5 months. If the family saves ₹ 66300 in the whole year, then what will be the average monthly income of the family? 

(A) ₹18000 

(B) ₹18160 

(C) ₹18100 

(D) ₹18260 

Answer: (B) 

Explanation: 

Average monthly expenditure for 2 months = Rs.8160 

Total expenditure for 2 months = 8160*2 = Rs.16320 

Average monthly expenditure for 5 months = Rs.12780 

Total expenditure for 5 months = 12780*5 = Rs.63900 

Average monthly expenditure for 5 months = Rs.14280 

Total expenditure for 5 months = 14280*5 = Rs.71400 

Then, Total expenditure for 12 months = Rs.16320+Rs.63900+Rs.71400 = Rs.151620 

Given, Savings for 12 months = Rs.66300 

Then, Income for 12 months = Rs.151620+Rs.66300 = Rs.217920 

Therefore, Average monthly income = Rs.217920/12 = Rs.18160
