  • Question
  • A car owner buys petrol at Rs.7.50, Rs. 8 and Rs. 8.50 per litre for three successive years. What approximately is the average cost per litre of petrol if he spends Rs. 4000 each year?


  • Options
  • A. Rs. 7.98
  • B. Rs. 8
  • C. Rs. 8.50
  • D. Rs. 9

  • Correct Answer
  • Rs. 7.98 

    Explanation
    Total quantity of petrol
    consumed in 3 years
    = 4000 + 4000 + 4000  litres
    7.50 8 8.50
    = 4000 2 + 1 + 2  litres
    15 8 17
    = 76700  litres
    51

    Total amount spent = Rs. (3 x 4000) = Rs. 12000.

    ∴ Average cost = Rs. 12000 x 51 = Rs. 6120   = Rs. 7.98
    76700 767
