    B Rs.16520 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.15500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.10000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Let the fixed amount charged be Rs. 'p' and the extra amount charged for each Burger be Rs. 'q' According to the question, (p + 180q) = 17000…… (1) And, (p + 120q) = 14000….. (2) On solving equation (1) and (2), we get Fixed charge = p = Rs. 8000 And, charge per meal = q = Rs. 50 Therefore, amount charged for each burger = p + 150q = Rs.15500
