AnswerAnswer: Option D
Solution
Answer: Option D
Solution:
\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
{}&{\text{I}}&{{\text{II}}} \\
{{\text{Cost price}}}&{{{20}_{ \times 3}}}&{{4_{ \times 17}}} \\
{{\text{Discount}}}&{ - 3}&{ - 1} \\
{{\text{Selling price}}}&{{{17}_{ \times 3}}}&{{3_{ \times 17}}}
\end{array}Cost price = 60 + 68 = 128 unit
128 unit → 640
1 unit → 5
Selling price = 51 unit = 51 × 25 = Rs. 255
