Explanation :

To find who brought expensive pens we need to fin the price of 1 pen bought by both rachana and Raj and then compare their prices .

Cost of 1 pen bought by rachna = cost of total pens ÷ number of pens .

$\longrightarrow\sf{ \dfrac{35}{14}}$

$\longrightarrow\sf{ 2.5 }$

• Therefore cost of 1 pen bought by rachna is 2.5 .

Cost of 1 pen bought by Raj = cost of total pens ÷ number of pens .

$\longrightarrow\sf{ \dfrac{30}{12}}$

$\longrightarrow\sf{ 2.5 }$

• Therefore cost of 1 pen bought by Raj is 2.5

Hence both brought the pens at the same price .
