Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D



Let cost of 1 adult’s ticket = Rs. 2x, then
cost of 1 child’s ticket = Rs. x
According to question
(35% of 120) `xx` 2x + (65% of 120) `xx` = 8100
`rArr` 84x + 78x = 8100
`rArr` x = 8100/162 = 50
Hence, cost of 1 adult’s ticket = Rs. 2x = 2 `xx` Rs. 50 = Rs.100.
