An online store’s promotion requires a minimum spend of₹500. Buying2 kg of fresh fruit earns a hand mixer; buying2 kg of fresh vegetables earns a vegetable chopper. Which outcome is NOT possible under this deal?
Buying3 kg of fruit but receiving no vegetable chopper.
Spending₹500 including1 kg of vegetables and receiving a hand mixer.
Spending₹500 including2 kg of vegetables and1 kg of fruit and receiving a hand mixer.
Spending₹300 including2 kg of fruit and receiving neither gift.
Correct answer: (C) Spending₹500 including2 kg of vegetables and1 kg of fruit and receiving a hand mixer.
Explanation
Under the question’s intended complete-purchase reading, C meets the vegetable condition, which earns a chopper, but contains only1 kg of fruit and therefore does not earn the mixer. A need not contain vegetables; B can include qualifying fruit among its other items; D fails the₹500 minimum. Thus C is the official answer. If “included” permits additional unreported fruit in C, its impossibility is under-specified; the key’s intended reading is retained explicitly.
