Correct Answer: 12800


Solution : Given: Metals A and B mixed in the ratio A : B = 3 : 1
Metal A costs Rs. 2000/kg and metal B costs Rs. 400/kg.
Quantity of metal A in alloy of 8 kg = $\frac{3}{4}$ × 8 = 6 Kg
Quantity of metal B in the alloy of 8 kg = $\frac{1}{4}$ × 8 = 2 kg
Cost of metal A = 2000 × 6 = Rs. 12000
Cost of metal B = 400 × 2 = Rs. 800
$\therefore$ The total cost of the alloy of 8 kg = 12000 + 800 = Rs. 12800
Hence, the correct answer is 12800.
