Quant (SSC) Average

The average price of three items of furniture is Rs. 15000. If their prices are in the ratio 3:5:7, the price of the cheapest item is :

6000

8000

9000

10000

Let their prices be 3x, 5x and 7x.
Then, 3x + 5x + 7x = (15000 * 3) or x = 3000.
Cost of cheapest item = 3x = Rs. 9000
