- Calculation of Total Cost:

- He buys 10 pens at Rs 8 each, which costs Rs 80.

- He buys 10 erasers at Rs 5 each, which costs Rs 50.

- Total spent on pens and erasers = Rs 80 + Rs 50 = Rs 130.

- He bought the sharpeners for Rs 4 each, and he has Rs 150 - Rs 130 = Rs 20 left.

- He can buy 5 sharpeners with Rs 20.

- Calculation of Total Items:

- Total pens = 10, total erasers = 10, total sharpeners = 5.

- Total items = 10 + 10 + 5 = 25 items.

- Calculation of Average Price Per Item:

- Total cost of all items = Rs 150.

- Average price per item = Total cost / Total items = 150/25 = Rs 6.

- Correct Answer:

- Option 4: 6
