  • B. Rs. 46
  • C. Rs. 58
  • D. Rs. 24

  • Correct Answer
  • Rs. 58 

    Explanation

    Let the cost of each apple,orange nd pear be Rs.x,y and z, respectively.Then,
    2x + 3y + z = 62 ...(i)
    5x + 6y + 4z = 20 ...(ii)
    On subtracting Eq.(i)from Eq.(ii), we get
    3x + 3y + 3z = 58
