• A. John
• B. Jenny
• C. Both of them got the pens at equal price
• D. Insufficient data

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Jenny

John purchased 10 pens for Rs 150
He purchased 1 pen for $\frac{150}{10}$ = Rs 15
Jenny purchased 7 pens for Rs 84
She purchased 1 pen for $\frac{84}{7}$ = Rs 12
Thus, Jenny spent less in buying a single pen.
