As per given above statements , we have
Let, the price of 1 dozen oranges, 1 dozen banana and 1 dozen apples be x, y and z, respectively.
I. Price of 2 dozen oranges and 1 dozen banana = $110
⇒ 2x + y = 110
II. Price of 3 dozen apples and 1 dozen banana = $170
⇒ 3z + y = 170
III. Price of 1 dozen oranges and 1 dozen apples = $95
⇒ x + z = 95Correct Option: E

From Statement I,
Total weight of Arun, Suraj and Vinay = 3 x Average weight = 3 x 68 kg
∴ Arun's weight = 3 x 68 - (78 + 46) = 80 kg
From statement II,
Total weight of Arun, Suraj, Vinay and Raju = 4 x 68 = 272 kg
∴ Arun's weight = 272 - (78 + 68 + 46)Correct Option: C
From Statement I,
Total weight of Arun, Suraj and Vinay = 3 x Average weight = 3 x 68 kg
∴ Arun's weight = 3 x 68 - (78 + 46) = 80 kg
Now, total weight of Raju and Pradeep = 2 x 72 = 144 kg
∴ Pratap's weight = 144 - 68 = 76 kg
∴ Second highest weight = 78 kg
(Suraj's weight)
From statement II,
Total weight of Arun, Suraj, Vinay and Raju = 4 x 68 = 272 kg
∴ Arun's weight = 272 - (78 + 68 + 46)
∴ Arun's weight = 272 - 192 = 80 kg
∴ Second highest weight = 78 kg (Suraj's weight)
