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

    Solution

    Let SP of bag = 100x SP of book = 100x × (130/100) = 130x SP of bottle = 100x × (70/100) = 70x => 130x – 100x = 3000 => x = 100 SP of bottle = 70 × 100 = Rs.7000 SP of bag = 100 × 100 = Rs.10000 Average = (7000 + 10000)/2 = 17000/2 = 8500
