Solution

The correct option is D 8m5+6n4+4p3
Cost of 5 kg tomatoes is m.

Cost of 4 kg potatoes is n.

Cost of 3 kg broccoli is p.

So, the cost of 1 Kg tomatoes = m5

The cost of 1 Kg potatoes = n4

And, the cost of 1 Kg broccoli = p3


Miller bought 8 Kg tomatoes, 6 Kg potatoes and 4 Kg broccoli.

Cost of 8 Kg tomatoes = 8 × cost of 1 Kg tomatoes = 8×m5=8m5(1)

Cost of 6 Kg potatoes = 6 × cost of 1 Kg potatoes = 6×n4=6n4(2)

Similarly, the cost of 4 Kg broccoli = 4× cost of 1 Kg broccoli = 4×p3=4p3(3)

From (1),(2) and (3),

The cost of 8 Kg tomatoes, 6 Kg potatoes and 4 broccoli = cost of 8 Kg tomatoes + cost of 6 Kg potatoes + cost of 4 broccoli

So, the cost of 8 Kg tomatoes, 6 Kg potatoes and 4 broccoli= 8m5+6n4+4p3

Miller would have spent 8m5+6n4+4p3 money on buying the vegetables.
