Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Concept
When two quantities are given in the ratio a:b and the first quantity is known, the second quantity equals the first quantity multiplied by b/a. Total revenue is the sum of (quantity sold × unit price) for every product.
Application
For store C, the table gives 400 HB pencils and the ratio HB:6B = 4:1.
Number of 6B pencils = 400 × (1/4) = 100.
Revenue from HB pencils = 400 × ₹5 = ₹2,000.
Revenue from 6B pencils = 100 × ₹8 = ₹800.
Total revenue = ₹2,000 + ₹800 = ₹2,800.
Cross-check
The calculated quantities satisfy 400:100 = 4:1, exactly matching the table.
Result
Therefore, the total revenue generated by store C is ₹2,800.
