A person bought some oranges worth ₹ 36 from each of the five markets at ₹ 1, ₹ 1.50, ₹ 1.80, ₹ 2 and ₹ 2.25 per orange, respectively. What is the average price of an orange?

₹ 1.91
₹ 2.00
₹ 1.58
₹ 1.80

Correct Answer: ₹ 1.58

Explanation:

Number of oranges bought by the person
= 36/1 + 36/1.50 + 36/1.80 + 36/2 + 36/2.25
= 36 + 24 + 20 + 18 + 16
= 114
Total expenditure = 36 x 5 = ₹ 180
Thus, average price of each orange
= ₹ 180/114
= ₹ 1.58
