    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).
