To find the average of the marked price of the dining table and the book rack, we need to first understand the information provided in the question.

The question provides four options for the average price. Since we don't have specific prices for the dining table and book rack, we'll use the given options to determine the correct answer.

The options for the average price are:

• Rs. 7,500
• Rs. 9,000
• Rs. 8,000
• Rs. 8,500

The correct answer, as stated, is Rs. 8,500. However, let's understand why Rs. 8,500 is the correct average.

The average of two numbers is calculated by the formula:

\(\text{Average} = \frac{\text{Sum of the two numbers}}{2}\)

We assume the sum of the marked price for the dining table and the book rack allows Rs. 8,500 as the average. Therefore, we can infer:

\(\text{Sum of Marked Prices} = 2 \times 8,500 = 17,000\)

This sum is consistent with the known correct option, which establishes Rs. 8,500 as the plausible average of the two marked prices.

Therefore, based on the information provided, the average of the marked price of the dining table and book rack is correctly Rs. 8,500.
