Sorry Neeraj! I dnt know how the OA comes C. Please refer my approach below -
A O
Price c + .1 c
Number a a + 5
Now by option II,
a * (c + .1) = 15
And we have to find out = (a + 5) * c - which is not possible to solve from only one equ mentioned above.
So IMO E.
Correct me If I am wrong


Regards,

Amitava
