    A 131 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 132 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 133 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 134 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    1st cylinder = Rs.50, and after that we can have each cylinder of Rs. 30 (We can return the old one). That is 50 + 30x <= 4000 X<=131.67 X= 131 Since X is for remaining cylinders, but we also bought 1st cylinder, hence total cylinders = 132.
