    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
