4) Raman bought 5 flower pots of three different sizes for total of Rs.290/-. Each pot costs 50% more than the next one below it in size. What was the cost of the largest flower pot? (This is really hard, at least for me)

a) Rs.80

b) Rs.90

c) Rs.75

d) Rs.60

HINT: This one is deceptive. You might be reading it incorrectly. Or something may have been lost in translation... For example, if you assume "the expensive pot is as cheap as the answer choices allow (namely 60)," then five pots expensive pots would be 300 already! no room for the cheaper pots.

The problem must mean a total of five pots?

I have more students in office hours so I have to run for now. I will try to respond two these last two later if I can find time.

Take care!
