A man buys 3 pens and 2 notebooks for ₹76. If a pen costs ₹12, what is the cost of a notebook?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

First, find the total cost of the three pens:

3 × 12 = ₹36

Now subtract the cost of the pens from the total amount:

76 − 36 = ₹40

This ₹40 is the cost of two notebooks.

Now, the cost of one notebook:

40 ÷ 2 = ₹20

Cost of one notebook = ₹20
