Options for question 2

Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

Explanation

  1. Cost of 3 kg = 2×180+1×240=6002 \times 180 + 1 \times 240 = 600 rupees.

  2. Cost per kg = 6003=200\frac{600}{3} = 200 rupees.

Worth noting

₹210 is the plain average, which ignores the 2:12 : 1 ratio; ₹220 attaches the weight 2 to the wrong price.
