Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The Correct answer is Option 4 i.e. ₹591.

Ram bought 15 shirts for ₹520 each, 20 pants for ₹600 each, and 15 kurtas for ₹650 each.

So, the total cost of 15 shirts, 20 pants, and 15 kurtas = (15 × 520 + 20 × 600 + 15 × 650)

⇒ (7800 + 12000 + 9750) = ₹ 29550

Total purchased articles = 15 + 20 + 15 = 50 

Now,

The average value =  Total cost/Total articles

⇒ 29550/50 = ₹591
