Let the average price of costliest metal be Rs. T per gram.

⇒ Sum of price of all 5 metals = 5 × Rs. 432 = Rs. 2160

And, Sum of price of all 4 metals(excluding costliest metal) = 4 × Rs. (432-132) = Rs. 1200

⇒ Price of a gram of costliest metal = Rs. 2160 – Rs. 1200 = Rs. 960

⇒ Price of 20 grams of costliest metal = 20 × Rs. 960 = Rs. 19200
