A8

C5

D6

Answer: Option C

A caterer normally spends Rs.1440/- a month for tiffin and 3/4 of this is for regular tiffin. How much will they save a month under the new prices?


ARs.87

BRs. 97

CRs. 85

DRs. 95

ENone of these

Answer: Option E

Explanation:

Kid's tiffin price-30 and regular tiffin price is 24.
3/4 is for regular tiffin. so, 3/4*1440=1080.
No. of regular tiffin's =1080/24=45.
and No. of kid's tiffin =360/30=12.

if the price is reduced to 28(kid's tiffin) and 23(regular tiffin) then total money spend =28*12+45*23=1371.
so, 1440-1371=69.
