Question

Rahul and his cousins spent ₹ (5x + 6y) on clothes, where x is the price of a pant and y is the price of a shirt. They wanted to return 2 shirts as they were damaged. The final amount they spent on the clothes will be equal to

• A. Rs.(4y + 4x)
• B. Rs. (5x + 4y)
• C. Rs. (4y + 5x)
• D. Rs. (5y + 5x)

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Rs. (5x + 4y)

Price of one shirt = ₹ y
So, price of two shirts = ₹ 2y
Rahul and his cousins will get ₹ 2y after giving back two shirts.
$\therefore$ the money they spent on clothes = (5x + 6y) - (2y)
= ₹ (5x + 4y)
