    C 7400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 7000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let SP of bag = 100x SP of book = 100x × (140/100) = 140x SP of bottle = 100x × (80/100) = 80x => 140x – 100x = 3000 => x = 75 SP of bottle = 80 × 75 = Rs.6000 SP of bag = 100 × 75 = Rs.7500 Average = (6000 + 7500)/2 = 13500/2 = 6750
