2. Rs. 180 
3. Rs. 240
4. Rs. 168

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : Rs. 168

Given: 

Consumption of cough syrup in a day = 2 teaspoons × 3 times = 6 teaspoons 

Number of teaspoons in a bottle = 90 

Calculation:

Consumption in 20 weeks = 6 teaspoons × 7 days × 20 weeks = 840 teaspoons 

Number of bottles needed for the consumption = 840/90 = 28/3

 ∴ Cost of medicine at current price = 28/3 × 18 = Rs.168
