Expert Solution

Price weighted index is calculated using the below formula:

Price weighted index= Sum of prices/ Number of stocks

                                         = $21 + $75 + $45/ 3

                                         = $141/3

                                         = $47.

Hence, the answer is option b.

In case of any query, kindly comment on the solution.
