Question

$75$ kg of wheat is being consumed in $30$ days by $24$ persons. How many persons will consume $50$ kg of wheat in $40$ days?

• A. $10$
• B. $12$
• C. $15$
• D. $18$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $12$

$75kg$ wheat is consumed by $24persons$ in $30days$.

$\Rightarrow 1kg$ wheat is consumed by $\frac{24\times 30}{75}person\times days$

$\Rightarrow 50kg$ wheat is consumed by $\frac{24\times 30}{75}\times 50=480person\times days$

$\Rightarrow$ Number of persons $=\frac{480}{40}=12persons.$
