One calculator is Rs 175 and one pencil box is Rs 14 more than the combined price of one pen and one packet of wax colours. How much did Harshita pay to the shopkeeper?

• A. Rs 1381
• B. Rs 1815
• C. Rs 1667
• D. Rs 1572
• E. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is C Rs 1667

Here, CP of one pencil box
= 7 + 22 + 14 = Rs 43
$\therefore$Total amount paid by Harshita
$=Rs(20\times 7+8\times 2+6\times 175+7\times 43)$
= Rs (140 + 176 + 1050 + 301) = Rs 1667
