• B. Note book, Rs. $264$
• C. Note book, Rs. $216$
• D. none

Answer 1

The correct option is C Note book, Rs. $216$

$Items$	$Cost$ $\left(in\%\right)$
$Sketch-pen$	$5\%$
$Compassbox+slate$	$15\%$
$Notebook$	$40\%$
$Bag$	$30\%$
$Water-bag$	$10\%$

$\Rightarrow$ Cost price of all items $=Rs.540$

$\Rightarrow$ From above table we can see, maximum amount spend on Notebook.

$\Rightarrow$ Cost price of Notebook ( in $\%$) $=40\%$

$\Rightarrow$ Cost price of Notebook in rupees $=\frac{40}{100}\times Rs.540$

$=Rs.216$
