Bulk furniture costing: Each chair costs Rs 214 and each table costs Rs 937. Find the approximate total cost of 6 dozen chairs and 4 dozen tables.

Introduction / Context:
This problem scales unit prices to bulk quantities expressed in dozens. We compute the totals for chairs and tables separately and then add them. Because the exact value lies close to a round number, an “approximate” choice among thousands is appropriate.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Chair price = Rs 214; quantity = 6 dozen = 72 chairs
• Table price = Rs 937; quantity = 4 dozen = 48 tables
• Choose the nearest thousand-level option

Concept / Approach:
Compute each subtotal via unitary method, sum them, and round to the nearest option. The arithmetic is straightforward and exact before rounding to the provided coarse choices.

Step-by-Step Solution:

Verification / Alternative check:
60384 is within 384 of 60000 and 1616 below 62000; it is closest to Rs 60000 among the provided options, so 60000 is the appropriate approximate pick.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:

• Rs. 58000, Rs. 55000: underestimate the total.
• Rs. 62000: farther from 60384 than 60000 is.
• Rs. 57000: still further away than Rs. 60000.

Common Pitfalls:
Confusing dozen counts or mis-multiplying 937 * 48. Breaking 48 as 50 − 2 helps: 937*50 − 937*2 = 46850 − 1874 = 44976.

Final Answer:
Rs. 60000
