Answer : 4. "1000(p - q) + qr"
Explanation :

Answer: D) 1000(p - q) + qr Explanation: We need to find the total cost to send r messsages, r > 1000. The first 1000 messsages will cost Rs.p each (Or)  The total cost of first 1000 messsages = Rs.1000p The remaining (r - 1000) messsages will cost Rs.q each (Or) The cost of the (r - 1000) = Rs.(r - 1000)y   Therefore, total cost = 1000p + rq - 1000q = 1000(p - q) + qr
