Solution

The correct option is C ₹ 48
Total amount with Simran = ₹ 350

Number of books bought = 7

Amount left after buying books = ₹ 14

Amount she spent on buying books = total amount – amount left after buying books

= 350 - 14 = ₹ 336

Let, the cost of each book be ₹ x

Cost of 7 books = 7x

7x = 336

Cost of each book, x = $\frac{336}{7}$ = ₹ 48

Answer: (C) ₹ 48
