Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : Rs. 1488

Given :

Number of friends having lunch together = 12

Eleven of them spent = Rs. 120 each

Calculation:

Let the average expenditure of 12 friends be x

⇒ 120 × 11 + (x + 44) = 12x

⇒ 1320 + x + 44 = 12x

⇒ 1364 = 11x

⇒ x = 124

∴ Total money spent = 12x = 12 × 124 = Rs. 1488.

The total money spent by 12 friends is Rs. 1488.
