Answer: Option E. -> None of these
Let the cost of each pen and pencil be 'p' and 'q' respectively.
16p + 8q = 352 --- (1)
4p + 4q = 96
8p + 8q = 192 --- (2)
(1) - (2) => 8p = 160
=> p = 20
Answer: Option B. -> Rs.500
Let the amounts to be received by P, Q and R be p, q and r.
p + q + r = 1200
p = 1/2 (q + r) => 2p = q + r
Adding 'p' both sides, 3p = p + q + r = 1200
=> p = Rs.400
q = 1/3 (p + r) => 3q = p + r
Adding 'q' both sides, 4q = p + q + r = 1200
=> q = Rs.300
r = 1200 - (p + q) => r = Rs.500.
Answer: Option D. -> 74
Let the number of one rupee coins in the bag be x.
Number of 50 paise coins in the bag is 93 - x.
Total value of coins
[100x + 50(93 - x)]paise = 5600 paise
=> x = 74
Answer: Option C. -> Rs.2400
Let the amount with R be Rs.r
r = 2/3 (total amount with P and Q)
r = 2/3(6000 - r) => 3r = 12000 - 2r
=> 5r = 12000 => r = 2400.
