• ((20*10)+(15*8)+(x*4))/(20+15+x) = 8.5
  =>320+4x = 297.5+8.5x
  =>4.5x=22.5
  =>x=22.5/4.5
  =>x=5

• here the options are given in rupees...but we need a unit less value of x...as x is the no. of children and not money..so i thnk the result will be indetermined here bcz the other three options dnt match..and there is no meaning of marking the first option bcz it is given rs.5 but actually it shud be only 5 and no units attached to it
