1. Rs. 250
2. Rs. 150
3. Rs. 360
4. Rs. 350

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : Rs. 350

Given

Cost of 15 shirts and 22 pants = Rs. 11450

Formula used

Average price of 1 unit × Number of unit = Sum of all unit

Calculation

Let the average price of pant is Rs. x

⇒ 15(250) + 22x = 11450

⇒ 22x = 11450 - 3750

⇒ 22x = 7700

⇒ x = 350

∴ Average price of pant is Rs. 350
