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.
