Question

A man went to the market with Rs. 200 in his pocket. He bought 2 kg apples at Rs. 50 per kg and also bought 2 dozen bananas. What is the balance amount with him after the purchase?
Which of the below information is additionally required to answer the above question?​​

A.

Bananas cost Rs. 25/kg in the market.

B.

The discount on bananas was 10% against 5% on apples.

C.

The weight of 2 dozen bananas was same as that of 2 kg of apples.

D.

The cost of a dozen bananas was equal to the cost of half a kg of apples

Correct option is D

Given:
The man had Rs. 200 initially
He bought 2 kg of apples at Rs. 50 per kg, so apple cost = 2 × 50 = Rs. 100
He also bought 2 dozen bananas
According to the given information,
Amount with the man = 200
Let the cost of dozen bananas be x,
He also bought 2 kg apples
So, Purchasing amount = 100 + 2x
Until the cost of dozen bananas is not known, we cannot get the remaining amount with him from options (a), (b) and (c).
From option (d): The cost of a dozen bananas was equal to the cost of half a kg of apples.
Cost of dozen bananas = 12\frac {1}{2}​ × 50 = 25
Purchasing amount = 100 + 50 = Rs. 150
Remaining amount = Rs. 50
The balance amount with him after the purchase is Rs. 50
So, option d is sufficient for answer the question.
Thus, correct option is (d).
