A) 1.5 lakh B) 1.1 lakh
C) 1.2 lakh D) 1.65 lakh
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 1.1 lakh

Total cost of 4 cars =  1+2 = 3 lakh

 

Total S.P of 4 cars = 3 x 1.5 = 4.5 lakh   (Since S.P = 100 + Gain%100 x C.P)

 

 S.P of 1 car = 1.2 lakh 

 

S.P of rest 3 cars = 4.5 - 1.2 = 3.3 lakh

 

 Average S.P of all the 3 cars = 1.1 lakh
