Rs128

Rs126

Rs117

- Let the price of the third variety be Rs x per kg.

- Amounts mixed: 1 part at Rs96, 1 part at Rs104, 2 parts at Rs x.

- Total parts = 1 + 1 + 2 = 4.

- The average price is: (1×96 + 1×104 + 2×x) / 4 = 113.

- Calculate: (96 + 104 + 2x) / 4 = 113.

- (200 + 2x) / 4 = 113

- 200 + 2x = 452

- 2x = 252 ? x = 126.

- So, the price of the third variety = Rs126 per kg.

- Option 3 (Rs126) is the correct answer.
