A boy went to a bookstore and then to a hotel with $\$100.$ He purchased a pen, a math book, and a notebook and with the remaining money, he went to the hotel. The price list of both the shops is given below.

Table 1 (Book store)
$\begin{array}{cc}\text{Objects}& \text{Price (in}\$)\\ \text{Pen}& \$2\\ \text{Pencil}& \$2\\ \text{Math book}& \$10\\ \text{Note book}& \$8\\ \text{Sharpner}& \$1\end{array}$

Table 2 (Hotel menu)
$\begin{array}{cc}\text{Objects}& \text{Price (in}\$)\\ \text{Noodles}& \$40\\ \text{Rice}& \$40\\ \text{Soup}& \$30\\ \text{Pizza}& \$50\\ \text{Burger}& \$50\\ \text{Pasta}& \$40\end{array}$

Which of the following combinations can he order?

• A. Pizza and noodles
• B. Pizza and pasta
• C. Rice and burger
• D. Pizza and soup

Answer 1

The correct option is D Pizza and soup

Given that the boy had $\$100.$
He purchased a pen, a math book, and a notebook from the bookstore.
So, the total amount paid by him at the bookstore $=\$2+\$10+\$8=\$20.$
So, the remaining amount $=\$100-\$20=\$80.$
From the menu, we can see that:
Price of pizza and noodles $=\$50+\$40=\$90$
Price of rice and burger $=\$40+\$50=\$90$
Price of pizza and pasta $=\$50+\$40=\$90$
Price of pizza and soup $=\$50+\$30=\$80$
Therefore, the boy can order pizza and soup.
