Question

A man buys 5 pencils, 6 pens and 4 erasers. If the cost of 1 pencil, 1 pen and 1 eraser are Rs 3, Rs 5 and Rs 4 respectively, then how much money men have to pay?

1. Rs 51
2. Rs 58
3. Rs 61
4. Rs 65

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : Rs 61

Given:

Cost of 1 pencil = Rs. 3

Cost of 1 pen = Rs. 5

Cost of 1 eraser = Rs. 4

Calculation:

Cost of 5 pencils = Rs.3 × 5 = Rs.15

Cost of 6 pens = Rs.5 × 6 = Rs.30

Cost of 4 erasers = Rs.4 × 4 = Rs.16

So, total cost of 5 pencils, 6 pens and 4 erasers = Rs.15 + Rs.30 + Rs.16 = Rs.61

∴ The amount of money men have to pay is Rs 61
