Detailed Solution

Given,
52 packets of 12 pencils each cost Rs. 499.20.
Total number of pencils,
12×52 624  
So, 624 pencils cost Rs. 499.20.
Now, 1   pencil costs,
499.20 624 =Rs. 0.80  
Multiplying the cost of 65 pencils and the cost of 1 pencil,
Here, 65 packets have 10 pencils each.
So,
65×10 650   Here, 65 packets have 650 pencils.
Now, if 1 pencil costs Rs. 0.80, then, 650 pencil costs
0.80×650 Rs. 520  
Thus, the cost of 65 packets of 10 pencils each will be Rs. 520.
Therefore, option 1 is correct.
