Given:

Price of article q is ₹16, which is the least.
The total price of all three articles is ₹50.
Means cost of p + r = 34.

Statement-I: The cost of p is not more than that of r.

This means that the price of p could be equal to or less than the price of r.
By only this statement, we can not answer the question.

Statement-II: The cost of r is not more than that of p.

This means that the price of r could be equal to or less than the price of p.
By only this statement, we can not answer the question.

Combining both the statements

We can conclude that the price of p is equal to the price of r.
Means p = r = 34 / 2 = 17.
Therefore, the price of both p and r is ₹17 each.

The correct answer is (c)

The Question can be answered by using both the Statements together, but cannot be answered using either Statement alone.
