Price of saree = Rs. 700 Price of sandal = Rs. 500 Check for the options for the appropriate answer. |
Option1: If there are 4 sarees, the remaining money = 3800 - 2800 = 1000. This can be divided by 500. Hence the correct answer. Option 2: If there are 2 sarees, the remaining money = 3800 - 1400 = 2400 This cannot be divided by 500. Hence not possible. Option 3: If there is 1 saree, the remaining money = 3800 - 700 = 3100 This cannot be divided by 500. Hence not possible. Option 4: If there are 3 sarees, the remaining money = 3800 - 2100 = 700 This cannot be divided by 500. Hence not possible. |
