    Question

    The cost of 12 apples and 15 oranges is Rs. 660. The cost of 15 apples and 21 oranges is Rs. 870. Find the cost of one apple.

    A.

    Rs. 25

    B.

    Rs. 15

    C.

    Rs. 30

    D.

    Rs. 20

    Correct option is C

    Let A be apple and O be oranges.
    12A + 15O = 660
    15A + 21O = 870
    Solving them we get
    60A + 75O = 3300
    60A + 84O = 3480
    So we get, 9O = 180, O = Rs. 20
    Put in the first equation
    12A + 300 = 660
    12A = 660 – 300 = 360
    A = Rs. 30
