• A. ₹ 5.00
• B. ₹ 5.40
• C. ₹ 57.5
• D. ₹ 595

Answer 1

The correct option is D ₹ 595

Given: Cost of 1 pen = ₹ 5.95
$\therefore$ Cost of 100 pen $=\text{₹}(5.95\times 100)$
Let us first ignore the decimal point and multiply the numbers.
$=\text{₹}(595\times 100)$ = 59500

Now, there are 2 decimal places in 5.95, so we put 2 decimal places in 59500 and we finally get the answer:
Cost of 100 pens = ₹ 595.00
