  • Explanation

    According to the question

    n1=20, n2=45, n3=15, a1=10, a2=5, a3=3

    We know the formula,

    Weighted average(Aw)=n1a1+n2a2+n3a3n1+n2+n3

    Average price of all the stationary goods

    =20×10+45×5+15×320+45+15=200+225+4580=47080

    = 5.875 yr

    Hence, Option A is correct.
