30 pens and 75 pencils altogether were purchased for ` 510. If the average price of a pencil was ` 2, what was the average price of a pen ?
[ A ] ` 9
[ B ] ` 10
[ C ] ` 11
[ D ] ` 12
Answer : Option D
Explanation :
Average the price of pencil = ` 2
The price of 30 pens and 75 pencils = ` 510
Let price of a pen = ` p
So, 30 × p+ 75 × 2 = 510
30 p= 510 – 150
p= #360\over30$= 12
So, the price of a pen = ` 12
