    A shopkeeper bought three items: a smartphone for Rs.

    14x, a camera for Rs. 10x, and a laptop for Rs. 16x. The average price of these items is Rs. 60,000. What is the price difference (in Rs.) between the smartphone and the laptop?
    A 74010 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 84430 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 70500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 94160 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ; Total cost = average × number of products = 60000 × 3 = 180000

    Hence 14x + 10x + 16x = 40x = 180000 ⇒ x = 4500

    Difference = (16x − 14x) = 2x = 9000
