Question

10 sheep and 5 pigs were bought for ₹6,000. If the average price of a sheep is ₹450, find the average price of a pig.

Options

• ₹ 380

• ₹ 410

• ₹ 340

• ₹ 300

Answer 1

₹ 300

Explanation:

According to the question,

`("Average price of Pig" xx "no. of pig + Average price of Ship" xx "No. of Ship")/("No. of Pig + No. of Ship")`

= total average price

Let the average price of 5 pigs = x

`(5"x"+10xx450)/15=6000/15`

5x + 4500 = 6000

5x = 1500

x = 300
