Correct Answer :

Option A

825

Solution :

To find the revenue generated by selling all the pens on Tuesday, we need to determine the number of dot pens and gel pens sold on Tuesday.

Step 1: Understand the dot pens sold on each day
Let the number of dot pens sold on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday be DSun, DMon, DTue, and DWed respectively.
We are given:
- Sunday: DSun=25
- Monday: DMon=25(1+X100)
- Tuesday: DTue=1.5×DMon (50% more than Monday)
- Wednesday: DWed=100
- Total dot pens sold in all four days = 250

Using the total sum of dot pens:
DSun+DMon+DTue+DWed=250
Substituting the known values:
25+DMon+1.5×DMon+100=250
125+2.5×DMon=250
2.5×DMon=125
DMon=50

Now, we can find the number of dot pens sold on Tuesday:
DTue=1.5×50=75

Step 2: Find the gel pens sold on Tuesday
We are given that the total number of gel pens sold over these four days is 50. Let the gel pens sold on each day be GSun, GMon, GTue, and GWed respectively.
The gel pens sold on these four days are Y% less than the dot pens sold on each corresponding day. This means:
Gday=Dday×(1-Y100)

Summing this over all four days:
Gday=(1-Y100)×Dday
50=(1-Y100)×250
1-Y100=50250=15=0.2

Thus, the number of gel pens sold on any day is 0.2 times (or 20% of) the dot pens sold on that day.
For Tuesday:
GTue=0.2×DTue=0.2×75=15

Step 3: Calculate the revenue generated on Tuesday
- Cost of each dot pen = Rs 10
- Cost of each gel pen = Rs 5

Revenue from Tuesday's sales:
Revenue=(DTue×10)+(GTue×5)
Revenue=(75×10)+(15×5)
Revenue=750+75=825

Therefore, the revenue generated by selling all the pens on Tuesday is Rs 825.
