The axis shows price per carat not price

The diagrams show the rates of diamond and emerald in a range of sizes. Both graphs are straight lines through the origin: for diamond the price rises to 5 Lakh Rs/carat at a weight of 2.5 carat, and for emerald it rises to 2.5 Lakh Rs/carat at the same weight. A person wants to buy a diamond and an emerald of identical size for a total of Rs. 6,75,000/-. What is that size?

  1. A.1 carat
  2. B.1.5 carat
  3. C.2 carat
  4. D.2.5 carat

You have the answer. Trap Analysis is why the other three were written.
