• B. Rs. 180
• C. Rs. 190

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

To find the total cost, we need to calculate the cost of apples and oranges separately and then add them together.

Step 1: Calculate the cost of apples.
Given: 5 kg of apples at Rs. 20 per kg.
Cost of apples = 5 kg × Rs. 20/kg = Rs. 100.

Step 2: Calculate the cost of oranges.
Given: 3 kg of oranges at Rs. 30 per kg.
Cost of oranges = 3 kg × Rs. 30/kg = Rs. 90.

Step 3: Calculate the total cost.
Total cost = Cost of apples + Cost of oranges = Rs. 100 + Rs. 90 = Rs. 190.

Therefore, the total cost is Rs. 190.
