Given:

Average price of apples in Delhi is Rs.180/kg and that in Mumbai is Rs.210/kg. 60kg of apples are transported from Delhi and 40 kg from Mumbai to Kolkata. Transportation cost of Rs. 2000 and Rs. 2500 respectively. 

Concept used:

Average

Calculation:

Total cost of apples from Delhi to Kolkata including transport = 180 × 60 + 2000 = Rs.12800

Total cost of apples from Mumbai to Kolkata including transport = 210 × 40 + 2500 = Rs.10900

Total cost of 100 kg apples in Kolkata = 12800 + 10900 = Rs.23700

Average cost of 1kg apples in Kolkata = 23700/100 = Rs.237/kg
