The given condition says that Pen<Pencil<Eraser Also, since the least cost of the three is Rs. 12, if we allocate a minimum of 12 to each we use up 36 out of the 41 available. The remaining 5 can be distributed as 0,1,4 or 0,2 and 3 giving possible values of Case 1: 12,13 and 16 or Case 2: 12,14 and 15.
In both cases, the cost of the pen is 12.

Question 3 of 5
A naughty boy Amrit watches an innings of Sachin Tendulkar and acts according to the number of runs he sees Sachin scoring. The details of these are given below.
1 run Place an orange in the basket
2 runs Place a mango in the basket
3 runs Place a pear in the basket
4 runs Remove a pear and a mango from the basket
One fine day, at the start of the match, the basket is empty. The sequence of runs scored by Sachin in that innings are given as 11232411234232341121314.
At the end of the above innings, how many more oranges were there compared to mangoes inside the basket? (The Basket was empty initially).
CorrectAnswer : c
The given condition says that Pen<Pencil<Eraser Also, since the least cost of the three is Rs. 12, if we allocate a minimum of 12 to each we use up 36 out of the 41 available. The remaining 5 can be distributed as 0,1,4 or 0,2 and 3 giving possible values of Case 1: 12,13 and 16 or Case 2: 12,14 and 15.
Amrit would place eight oranges in the basket (as there are eight 1’s). For the mangoes, he would place six mangoes (number of 2’s) and remove four mangoes (number of 4’s) from the basket. Thus, there would be 2 mangoes and 8 oranges in the basket.
A total of 8 2 = 6 extra oranges in the basket.
Option (c) is correct.
