Answer
The correct answer is A: ₹ 112.50. Cost: Tomato 1/2 kg = ₹20; Potato 1 kg = ₹12.50; Carrot 1/2 kg (500g) = 2×20 = ₹40; Chillies 250g = 2.5×10 = ₹25; Lemons 6 = (10/4)×6 = ₹15. Total = 20+12.50+40+25+15 = ₹112.50?
A.₹ 112.50✓ Correct
B.₹ 87.50
C.₹ 86.50
D.₹ 97.50
Explanation
Cost: Tomato 1/2 kg = ₹20; Potato 1 kg = ₹12.50; Carrot 1/2 kg (500g) = 2×20 = ₹40; Chillies 250g = 2.5×10 = ₹25; Lemons 6 = (10/4)×6 = ₹15. Total = 20+12.50+40+25+15 = ₹112.50? Wait, recompute: 20+12.50 = 32.50; +40 = 72.50; +25 = 97.50; +15 = 112.50. Wait that is incorrect. Hmm. Actually 32.50+40=72.50, 72.50+25=97.50, 97.50+15=112.50. He pays ₹200, so change = 200-112.50 = ₹87.50. The correct answer is ₹87.50.
