    A 56 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 60 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 70 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 66 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 55 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let total number of maggi be 11x Therefore, number of vegetable maggi = 6x Number of aata maggi type = 6x/2 = 3x Number of masala maggi = 2x According to the question, {(2xC1 × 3xC1)/11xC2} = 72/15 => 2x × 3x/11x (1x – 1) = 72/715 => 66x – 6 = 65x => x = 6 Therefore, total number of maggi = 11x = 66
