Shaban Ahmad  (10 years ago)

since, 20 pens, 22 erasers and 25 sharpeners cost Rs.196
hence, 40 pens, 44 erasers and 50 sharpeners cost Rs.392
again,
since, 23 pens, 27 erasers and 30 sharpeners cost Rs.233
hence, 69 pens, 81 erasers and 90 sharpeners cost Rs.699

hence, total of (40+69=109)pens, (44+81=125)erasers and(50+90=140)sharpeners will cost Rs.(392+699=1091).

k=1091

for pens : ((20+23)*3)-20) = 109
similarly for erasers and sharpners

i.e. ((22+27)*3)-22 = 125 and ((25+30)*3)-25)


so k = ((196 + 233)*3)-196 = 1091
