A person bought some oranges worth Rs.36 from each of the five markets at Rs.1, Rs.1.50, Rs. 1.80, Rs.2 and Rs 2.25 per orange respectively. What is the average price of an orange?

A) RS. 1.91
B) RS. 2.00
C) RS. 1.58
D) RS. 1.80

Correct Answer:



C) RS. 1.58

Description for Correct answer:

Number of oranges bought by the person

\( \Large = \frac{36}{1} +\frac{36}{1.50} + \frac{36}{1.80} + \frac{36}{2} + \frac{36}{2.25} \)

= 36 + 24 + 20 + 18 + 16 = 114

Total expenditure = 36 X 5 = Rs. 180

Thus the average price of each orange = Rs. \( \Large\frac{180}{114} = Rs. 1.58 \)
