    The average cost price of 15 pens (having equal cost price) decreased by Rs.3, when one of the pen is replaced by a new pen having cost price of Rs.50. Find the cost price of the pen that was replaced.

    C Rs.160 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.104 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the cost price of each pen be Rs.x So, cost price of 15 pens = Rs.15x According to the question, => (15x – x + 50)/15 = x – 3 => 14x + 50 = 15x – 45 => x = 95 Therefore, the cost price of the pen that was replaced is = Rs.95
