A.

90

B.

95

C.

85

D.

80

Correct option is B

Given:
Number of items = 10
Average cost = Rs. 89
Cost of one item = Rs. 35
Formula Used:
Average = TotalNumber of items\frac{\text{Total}}{\text{Number of items}}​​
Solution:
Total cost of 10 items = Average × Number of items = 89 × 10 = Rs. 890
Total cost of 9 items = Total cost of 10 items - Cost of one item = 890 - 35 = Rs. 855
Average cost of 9 items = Total cost of 9 itemsNumber of items=8559=Rs. 95\frac{\text{Total cost of 9 items}}{\text{Number of items}} = \frac{855}{9} = \text{Rs. } 95
