B ₹ 12.93 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C 11.07 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D ₹ 7.18 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
E ₹ 10.90 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

Price of cold-drink in first year = ₹ 8.00 per litre.
∴ Quantity of cold-drink in first year = 2400/8.00 = 300 litres
Price of cold-drink in second year = ₹ 12.00 per litre.
∴ Quantity of cold-drink in second year = 2400/12.00 = 200 litres
Price of cold-drink in third year = ₹ 16.00 per litre.
∴ Quantity of cold-drink in third year = 2400/16.00 = 150 litres
∴ Required average = (3 × 2400)/ (300 + 200 + 150) = 7200/650 = ₹ 11.07
