Z bought nothing but contributed ₹ 50 for his share of the drink which they mixed together and shared thecost equally.

Elementary MathematicsRatio and Proportion
- A₹ 75
- B₹ 50
- C₹ 46
- D₹ 30
Explanation
If a lemon-juice bottle costs L, an orange-juice bottle costs 2L; the mixed drink is worth 4L + 2L = 6L, shared equally as 2L each. Z's share costs Rs 50, so 2L = 50 and L = 25. One bottle of orange juice costs 2L = Rs 50. Hence option B.
