7. Rakesh and Rajesh together bought 10 rubber and 10 pencils. Rakesh spent 1300 and Rajesh spent 1500. If each pencil costs three times a rubber does, then what is the price of a pencil?
a) 70
b) 90
c) 210
d) 240
Ans: c
Exp: Let's assume the price of a rubber is "x". Then, the price of a pencil is 3x.
We know that Rakesh spent 1300 on rubbers and pencils and Rajesh spent 1500, so the total cost of the rubbers and pencils is 1300 + 1500 = 2800.
Since Rakesh and Rajesh bought 10 rubbers and 10 pencils in total, the cost of all the rubbers is 10 * x = 10x, and the cost of all the pencils is 10 * 3x = 30x.
So, the total cost of the rubbers and pencils is 10x + 30x = 40x = 2800.
By solving for x, we can find the price of a rubber:
x = 2800 / 40 = 70.
Therefore, the price of a pencil is 3 * 70 = 210.
