    B Rs.735 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.935 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.1000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Let the price of book ‘X’, ‘Y’ and ‘Z’ be Rs. ‘p’, Rs. ‘q’ and Rs. ‘r’, respectively. p + q = 1700 q + r = 1820 r + p = 1750 So, 2(p + q + r) = 5270 Or, p + q + r = 2635 So, price of book ‘r’ = 2635 – 1700 = Rs. 935
