      Question

      If the average cost price of 18 identical bags decreases by

      Rs. 5 after replacing one bag with a new bag that costs Rs. 90, what was the original cost price of the replaced bag?
      A Rs.180 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs.225 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs.250 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs.192 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ;

      Let the cost price of each bag be Rs. 'x'.

      So, cost price of 18 bags = Rs. 18x

      ATQ:

      (18x - x + 90) ÷ 18 = x - 5

      Or, 17x + 90 = 18x - 90

      Or, x = 180

      So, the cost price of the bag that was removed is Rs. 180.
