Question

In a shop, a box of chocolates, are sold at ₹40. Cost of the chocolates without the box is ₹30. Then, the cost of the box is

• A. ₹10
• B. ₹4
• C. ₹5

Answer 1

The correct option is C ₹5

Let the cost of chocolates be c and the cost of the box be b.

It is given that, the cost of chocolates with the box is ₹40.

Hence, c + b = 40

Cost of chocolates without box is ₹30.

Hence, c - b = 30

Subtracting this, we get

2b = 10

$⟹$ b = 5

Therefore, the cost of the box = ₹5.
