The average of three unequal quotations for a particular share is Rs.110. If all are quoted in integral values of rupee, does the highest quotation exceed Rs.129?

  1. The lowest quotation is Rs.100.
  2. One of the quotations is Rs.115.

Answer & solution

    2

  • C

    3

  • D

    4

Solution

Sum of all the three quotations = 110 × 3 = 330 

From statement I, if the lowest quotation is 110 then the sum of other two quotations = 330 – 100 = Rs. 230.

Now, minimum value of second quotation = Rs. 101

Therefore, maximum value of third quotation = 230 – 101 = Rs. 129.

Hence, 1.
