    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

              (i) In 12 hours, Nikita travels = 252 km In 21 hours, Nikita travels \[=\frac{252}{12}\times 21=441\,km\] (ii) Cost price of 5 chairs = Rs.750 Cost price of 1 chair \[=Rs.\,\frac{750}{5}=Rs.\,150\] \[\therefore \] Cost price of 3 chairs \[=150\times 3=Rs.450\] Cost price of 6 tables \[=Rs.3600\] Cost price of 1 table \[=\frac{3600}{6}=Rs.600\] \[\therefore \]Cost price of 2 tables \[=600\times 2=Rs.1200.\] Hence, cost price of 3 chairs and 2 tables \[=(450+1200)=Rs.\,1650\] (iii) Required ratio \[=\frac{36}{36+18}=\frac{36}{54}=\frac{2}{3}=2:3\]
