    Six persons went to a hotel for taking their meals. Five of them spent Rs. 32 each on their meals while the sixth person spent Rs. 80 more than the average expenditure of all the six. Total money spent by all the persons is

    A)  Rs. 192            

    B)  Rs. 240

    C)  Rs. 288

    D)  Rs. 336

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Money spent by first five persons                         \[=Rs.(32\times 5)=Rs.160\] Let the average expenditure = Rs. x \[\therefore \]      \[\frac{160+x+80}{6}=x\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[x+240=6x\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[5x=240\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[x=\frac{240}{5}=48\] \[\therefore \] Total expenditure \[=Rs.\,(6\times 48)=Rs.\,288\]
