A retailer opens her outlet on all seven days of the week. It is observed that her average sales for Saturdays and Sundays combined is ₹300, and ₹200 for the remaining five days combined. For a month starting on a saturday, it was found that the total sales were ₹7000. Which among the following months it could be?

Options

A. march
B. april
C. january
D. february

Answer

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the sales data provided and determine which month, starting on a Saturday, could yield a total sales of ₹7000.

### Step 1: Calculate the total sales for weekends and weekdays
1. The average sales for Saturdays and Sundays combined is ₹300. Since there are 4 weekends in a month (assuming a 30-day month), the total sales for weekends (Saturdays and Sundays) would be:
\[ \text{Total weekend sales} = 300 \times 4 = ₹1200 \]

2. The average sales for the remaining five weekdays combined is ₹200. Since there are 4 weeks in a month, the total sales for weekdays would be:
\[ \text{Total weekday sales} = 200 \times 4 = ₹800 \]

### Step 2: Calculate the total sales for the month
3. Now, we can calculate the total sales for the month by adding the total weekend sales and total weekday sales:
\[ \text{Total sales for the month} = \text{Total weekend sales} + \text{Total weekday sales} = ₹1200 + ₹800 = ₹2000 \]

### Step 3: Check the total sales against the given total sales
4. However, we have a total sales figure of ₹7000 for the month. This indicates that the calculations based on averages do not align with the total sales provided.

### Step 4: Determine the number of weeks in the month
5. Since the month starts on a Saturday, we need to check how many Saturdays and Sundays there are in the month. If the month has 30 days:
- The month would have 4 complete weeks and 2 extra days (Saturday and Sunday).
- Therefore, there would be 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays.

### Step 5: Recalculate total sales based on 5 Saturdays and Sundays
6. Now, we recalculate the total sales:
- Total sales for 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays:
\[ \text{Total weekend sales} = 300 \times 5 = ₹1500 \]

- Total sales for weekdays (which would be 22 days):
\[ \text{Total weekday sales} = 200 \times 4 + 200 = ₹1000 + ₹8000 = ₹9000 \]

### Step 6: Final calculation
7. Adding these sales together gives us:
\[ \text{Total sales for the month} = ₹1500 + ₹9000 = ₹10500 \]
This does not match the ₹7000 total sales.

### Conclusion
8. Given the calculations and the structure of the month, the only way to achieve a total of ₹7000 would be if the month had fewer weekdays or weekends, or if the sales averages were different. The only months that start on a Saturday and have 30 days are April, June, September, and November.

Thus, the month could be any of these, but we need to check the sales averages to confirm.
