D. Rs. 1,527

Answer

To solve the problem step by step, we will calculate the total cost of each item Seema bought and then sum them up to find the total amount she paid to the shopkeeper.

### Step 1: Calculate the cost of pens
- Seema bought 20 pens.
- The price of one pen is Rs. 7.
- Total cost of pens = Number of pens × Price per pen
\[ \text{Total cost of pens} = 20 \times 7 = 140 \text{ Rs} \]

### Step 2: Calculate the cost of wax colours
- Seema bought 8 packets of wax colours.
- The price of one packet of wax colours is Rs. 22.
- Total cost of wax colours = Number of packets × Price per packet
\[ \text{Total cost of wax colours} = 8 \times 22 = 176 \text{ Rs} \]

### Step 3: Calculate the cost of calculators
- Seema bought 6 calculators.
- The price of one calculator is Rs. 175.
- Total cost of calculators = Number of calculators × Price per calculator
\[ \text{Total cost of calculators} = 6 \times 175 = 1050 \text{ Rs} \]

### Step 4: Calculate the cost of pencil boxes
- Seema bought 7 pencil boxes.
- The price of one pencil box is Rs. 14 more than the combined price of one pen and one packet of wax colours.
- Combined price of one pen and one packet of wax colours = Price of one pen + Price of one packet of wax colours
\[ \text{Combined price} = 7 + 22 = 29 \text{ Rs} \]
- Therefore, the price of one pencil box = Combined price + 14
\[ \text{Price of one pencil box} = 29 + 14 = 43 \text{ Rs} \]
- Total cost of pencil boxes = Number of pencil boxes × Price per pencil box
\[ \text{Total cost of pencil boxes} = 7 \times 43 = 301 \text{ Rs} \]

### Step 5: Calculate the total amount paid to the shopkeeper
- Total amount = Total cost of pens + Total cost of wax colours + Total cost of calculators + Total cost of pencil boxes
\[ \text{Total amount} = 140 + 176 + 1050 + 301 = 1667 \text{ Rs} \]

Thus, the total amount Seema paid to the shopkeeper is **Rs. 1667**.
