    B.

    ₹1080

    C.

    ₹1260

    D.

    Correct option is A

    Given:

    Cost of 40 packets of 12 pens = ₹1680

    Find the cost of 30 packets of 9 pens

    Formula Used:

    Cost per pen = Total cost ÷ Total number of pens

    Cost of 1 pen = 1680480\frac{1680}{480}​ = ₹3.50

    Total number of pens in second case

    = 30 × 9 = 270 pens

    Total cost 270 × 3.5 = ₹945

    Thus, Cost of 30 packets each containing 9 pens = ₹945
