The average price of three items of furniture is Rs. 15000. If their prices are in the ratio 3:5:7, the price of the cheapest item is :

A) 6000
B) 7000
C) 8888
D) 9000

Answer: D) 9000 

Explanation:

Let their prices be 3x,  5x and 7x.

Then, 3x + 5x + 7x = (15000 * 3) or x = 3000.

Cost of cheapest item = 3x = Rs. 9000.
