Correct Answer :

Option B

₹ 87.50

Solution :

The correct option is ₹ 87.50.


Let us calculate the cost of each vegetable purchased by Sanjay based on the given price list:


1. Tomatoes:
Price of 1 kg tomatoes = ₹ 40
Cost of 1/2 kg tomatoes = ₹ 40 / 2 = ₹ 20.00


2. Potatoes:
Price of 2 kg potatoes = ₹ 25
Cost of 1 kg potatoes = ₹ 25 / 2 = ₹ 12.50


3. Carrot:
Price of 250 g carrot = ₹ 20
Since 1/2 kg = 500 g, the cost of 500 g carrot = ₹ 20 × 2 = ₹ 40.00


4. Chillies:
Price of 100 g chillies = ₹ 10
Cost of 250 g chillies = ₹ 10 × 2.5 = ₹ 25.00


5. Lemons:
Price of 4 pieces of lemon = ₹ 10
Price of 1 piece of lemon = ₹ 10 / 4 = ₹ 2.50
Cost of 6 pieces of lemon = ₹ 2.50 × 6 = ₹ 15.00


Total Bill Calculation:

Total Cost = 20.00 + 12.50 + 40.00 + 25.00 + 15.00 = 112.50


Money Sanjay gets back from the bill clerk:

Money returned = 200.00 - 112.50 = 87.50
