S2. Ans.(d)
Sol.
Let the price of B per kg be Rs. X. Then, the price of A per kg = Rs. 3X
1kg of C contains 2/7 kg of A and 5/7 kg of B
Price of 1 kg of C = (2/7) × 3X + (5/7)X = (11/7)X
By the given condition, 11X/7
= 5.20 – 0.80
= Rs. 4.40
⇒ X = 4.40 × (7/11) = Rs. 2.80
Hence the price of B per kg = Rs. 2.80.

Therefore,
Ratio of mixture, A to B is 3:2.
And ratio of mixture B to C is 4:3.
Hence, ratio of volume of mixtures A, B & C is

Now,
Total amount spent by all the three on food = 27000
⟹ z + z + 1000 + z + 2000 = 27000
⟹ z = 8000
Monthly income of Q = Monthly income of P + 6000
