    Question

    On a particular day each of Danish, Ethan and Farhan

    sold three types of pens from their respective shops. Danish and Ethan sold an identical number of pens of Type A while Farhan sold 1/2 times as many pens of Type A as Danish and Ethan together sold. The ratio of the numbers of pens of Type B sold by Danish, Ethan and Farhan was 4 : 3 : 1 respectively, and Danish and Farhan sold an identical number of pens of Type C each, while Ethan sold 5/2 as many pens of Type C as each of Ethan and Farhan sold. The three sellers sold each of the types of pens at different prices per unit. Assertion (A): It is possible that Danish sold each pen of Type A at a loss of â‚ą1, each pen of Type B at a profit of â‚ą5, and each pen of Type C at a loss of â‚ą3 and made an overall profit of â‚ą114; Ethan sold each pen of Type A at a profit of â‚ą4, each pen of Type B at a loss of â‚ą3, and each pen of Type C at a profit of â‚ą5 and made an overall profit of â‚ą267; and Farhan sold each pen of Type A at a profit of â‚ą8, each pen of Type B at a profit of â‚ą5, and each pen of Type C at a loss of â‚ą7 and made an overall profit of â‚ą 60. Reason (R): Framing and solving the three possible linear equations we will find that we get a unique solution.
    A Assertion (A) is false and Reason (R) is true. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is a correct explanation of Assertion (A). Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true but Reason (R) is not a correct explanation of Assertion (A). Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Assertion (A) is true and Reason (R) is false. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
