Download Solution PDFGiven:
The price of a water bottle (bottle + water) = ₹15
The cost of water is ₹12 more than the cost of the bottle.
Claculation:
Let the cost of the bottle be ₹x.
⇒ Cost of water = x + 12
⇒ Total price = x + (x + 12)
⇒ 15 = x + x + 12
⇒ 15 = 2x + 12
⇒ 2x = 15 - 12
⇒ 2x = 3
⇒ x = 3/2 = 1.5
∴ The cost of the bottle is ₹1.50. The correct answer is option (1).
