Question

For a charity show, the total tickets sold were $420$. Half of these tickets were sold at the rate of Rs. $5$ each, one third at the rate of Rs. $3$ each and the rest for Rs. $2$ each. What was the total received ?

• A. Rs. $900$
• B. Rs. $1540$
• C. Rs. $1610$
• D. Rs. $2000$

Answer 1

The correct option is C Rs. $1610$

Total tickets sold $=420$
Half of the tickets sold at the rate of Rs. 5 each. Therefore,
210 tickets sold $=210\times 5=Rs.1050$
one third ticket sold for Rs. 3 i.e $\frac{1}{3}$ of $420=140$ tickets sold at Rs. 3 each.
Collection through it $=140\times 3=Rs.420$
Rest $70$ tickets were sold at the rate of Rs. 2 each.

So collection $=70\times 2=Rs.140$
Total collection $=1050+420+140=Rs.1610$.
