    B Rs. 10 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 6 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 18 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Quantity of purchased spirit in 1st year = 7500/5 = 1500 litre 2nd year = 7500/6 =1250 litre and 3rd year = 7500/7.5 = 1000 litre ∴ Total quantity purchased in 3 years = 1500 + 1250 + 1000 = 3750 litre and Total amt. paid in 3 yrs for spirit = 3 × 7500 = Rs.22,500 ∴ Average price per litre = 22500/3750 = Rs. 6 per litre
