Question

For a charity show, the total tickets sold were 420. Half of these tickets were sold at the rate of Rs. 5 each, one-third at the rate of Rs. 3 each and the rest for Rs. 2 each. What was the total amount received?

Accepted Answer

Here's a breakdown of the calculation:

1.  Tickets sold at Rs. 5 each: Half of 420 = 210 tickets.
    Revenue = 210 * 5 = Rs. 1050.

2.  Tickets sold at Rs. 3 each: One-third of 420 = 140 tickets.
    Revenue = 140 * 3 = Rs. 420.

3.  Remaining tickets sold at Rs. 2 each:
    Total tickets sold so far = 210 + 140 = 350 tickets.
    Remaining tickets = 420 - 350 = 70 tickets.
    Revenue = 70 * 2 = Rs. 140.

4.  Total amount received:
    Total = 1050 (from Rs. 5 tickets) + 420 (from Rs. 3 tickets) + 140 (from Rs. 2 tickets)
    Total = Rs. 1610.

Therefore, option C is correct.
