Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. ₹ 427.
Given that
The cost of 3 breads and 1 packet of juice = ₹ 323.50
The cost of 5 breads and 1 packet of juice = ₹ 433.50
According to the question
⇒ 3 breads + 1 juice = 323.50 ......(1
⇒ 5 breads + 1 juice = 433.50 .......(2
Equation 2 - Equation 1
⇒ 2 breads = 433.50 - 323.50 = ₹ 110
So, 3 breads = 110 × 3/2 = ₹ 165
Now, from the equation 1
⇒ 1 juice = 323.50 - 165 = 158.50
⇒ 2 juice = 158.50 × 2 = 317
Hence, the required value = 317 + 110 = ₹427
