    D Rs.1,100.5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Marked price of each bag = Rs. 1,500 Selling price of each bag = Rs. 1,350 Cost price of bag sold at 20% profit = (1350 ÷ 1.2) = Rs. 1,125 Cost price of bag sold at 25% profit = (1350 ÷ 1.25) = Rs. 1,080 Total cost price of both bags = (1125 + 1080) = Rs. 2,205 Required average = (2205/2) = Rs. 1,102.5
