Solution -
Let,
The fixed expends = x
and
The variable expends = y
When there are 10 guests,
x + 10y = 6000 ______ (1)
When there are 25 guests,
x + 25y = 9000 ______ (2) (25 × 360 = 9000)
Subtracting eq.1 from eq.2
(x + 25y) - (x + 10y) = 9000 - 6000
15y = 3000
y = 200
And,
x + 10y = 6000
x + 10(200) = 6000
x + 2000 = 6000
x = 4000
When there are 40 guests,
= x + 40y
= 4000 + 40(200)
= 4000 + 8000
= 12000
Therefore,
The total expenditure when there are 40 guests is 12,000.
Hence,
The correct answer is option (b) Rs. 12,000.
