Options

A. ₹ 9.50
B. ₹ 15.75
C. ₹ 40. 50
D. ₹ 18.50

Answer

To find the amount returned by the shopkeeper, we need to follow these steps:

### Step 1: Calculate the total cost of the items purchased.
1. **Cost of the notebook**: ₹25.50
2. **Cost of the pen**: ₹7.50
3. **Cost of the pencils**: Each pencil costs ₹1.25, and Sharda bought 6 pencils.
- Total cost of pencils = 6 × ₹1.25 = ₹7.50

Now, we add all these costs together:
- Total cost = Cost of notebook + Cost of pen + Cost of pencils
- Total cost = ₹25.50 + ₹7.50 + ₹7.50

### Step 2: Perform the addition.
- Total cost = ₹25.50 + ₹7.50 + ₹7.50 = ₹40.50

### Step 3: Subtract the total cost from the amount given to the shopkeeper.
Sharda paid ₹50.00 to the shopkeeper.
- Amount returned = Amount given - Total cost
- Amount returned = ₹50.00 - ₹40.50

### Step 4: Perform the subtraction.
- Amount returned = ₹50.00 - ₹40.50 = ₹9.50

### Conclusion:
The amount returned by the shopkeeper is ₹9.50.
