XAT
Let the amount spent by Ashish is 'a', Banti is 'b' and Chintu is 'c'. Given, a = b = c.
One of them has bought a large bag. So, he must have spent at least 1000 rupees. It means, everyone has spent at least a thousand
rupees. Or, a +b + c ≥ 3000.
Revenue from small bags = 50*15 = 750.
Revenue from large bag = 1000*1 = 1000. Total revenue excluding from medium bag = 750 + 1000 = 1750.
If 4 medium bags are sold, total revenue = 200*4 + 1750 = 2550, which is less than 3000. Hence, not the right answer.
If 5 medium bags are sold, total revenue = 200*5 + 1750 = 2750, which is less than 3000. Hence, not the right answer.
If 7 medium bags are sold, total revenue = 200*7 + 1750 = 3150, which is more than 3000. Hence, 7 is the correct answer
