View Answer

Correct choice: A

Explanation:

Let the average bill paid by twenty members = 'x' But 19 men paid each = Rs. 70 20th man paid Rs. 90.25 more than the avg bill of 20 = x + 90.25 20x = 19(70) + x + 90.25 19x = 1330 + 90.25 19x = 1420.25 x = 1420.25/19 = Rs. 74.75 But the total bill = 20 x 74.75 = Rs. 1495.
