#48 Average Quantitative Aptitude Question

The average price of 10 books is Rs. 12 while the average price of 8 of these books is Rs. 11.75. Of the remaining two books, if the price of one book is 60% more than the price of the other, what ia the pice of each of these two books ?

A) 16,12
B) 10,16
C) 23,9
D) 8,7

Answer: B) 10,16 

Explanation:

Total pice of the two books = Rs. [(12 x 10) - (11.75 x 8)]

    = Rs. (120 - 94) = Rs. 26.

let the price of one book be Rs. x

Then, the price of other book = Rs. (x + 60% of x) = Rs. = Rs. 

So,  

The prices of the two books are Rs. 10 and Rs. 16
