    E none of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    [Total /no.of items = average.] Let the total cost of Rice bag, Pulse bag and Sugar bag is = 600 x 3 = 1800  Then, Total cost of Sugar bag and Pulse bag is = 650 x 2= 1300  Hence, the Cost of Rice bag is = cost of Rice bag, Pulse bag and Sugar bag - cost of sugar and Pulse bag = 1800-1300  = 500  According to the question, Pulse bag = 2/11 of Sugar bag Pulse bag  : Sugar bag = 2:11         .`. (11u +2u = 13u) Where, 1u = 100  Then, 13u= 1300  So, cost of Pulse bag = 2 x 100= 200  Cost of Sugar bag = 11 x 100 = 1100  Difference between Rice bag and Sugar bag = 1100-500 =Rs.600
