Question



Six persons went to a hotel for a dinner. Five of them spent Rs 150 each on their meals, while the sixth person spent Rs 80 more than the average expenditure of all the six persons. What is the total money spent by all the six persons?

A.

996

B.

999

C.

1000

D.

1001

Correct option is A


Solution:
Let the average of 6 persons expenditure = x
Then total expenditure = 6x
Now total expenditure of 5 person each spent Rs 150 = 150 × 5 = Rs 750
Sixth person spent = x+ 80
750+ x+80 = 6x
830 = 5x
x= Rs 166
Total money spent by 6 person = 6x = 6 × 166 = Rs996
