10. To promote yoga, an organisation tried to generate awareness through SMS, letters and
announcements. The cost for each per attempt is ₹6, ₹30 and ₹40 respectively. The
number of attempts for SMS, letters and announcements in locality are 400, 100 and
200; in locality are 300, 150 and 300; in locality are 500, 200 and 100 respectively.
