Salma bought 65 books for ₹ 1050 from one shop and 50 books for ₹ 1020 from another. What is the mean price she paid per book?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

Total books =65+50=115= 65 + 50 = 115; total cost =1050+1020=2070= 1050 + 1020 = 2070.

Mean price =2070115=18= \dfrac{2070}{115} = 18. Averaging the two separate per-book prices instead of using totals gives the wrong figure.
