the average price of 3 items of furniture is rs. 15000. if their prices are in the ratio 2: 4: 8, the price of the cheapest item is?
divide(multiply(3, 15000), 8)
let their prices be 3 x , 5 x and 7 x . then , 2 x + 6 x + 8 x = ( 15000 * 3 ) or x = 2812.5 . cost of cheapest item = 2 x = rs . 5625 . answer : c
