Correct Answer: 21021


Solution : The average price of the three chairs is the total price divided by the number of chairs.
The total price of the three chairs = 14,014 × 3 = Rs. 42,042
The prices of the chairs are in the ratio 3 : 4 : 7.
The sum of the ratios = 3 + 4 + 7 = 14
Price of each chair = $\frac{\text{Individual ratio}}{\text{Sum of the ratios}} \times \text{Total price}$
Therefore, the highest price of a chair = 42,042 × $\frac{7}{14}$ = Rs. 21,021
Hence, the correct answer is 21,021.
