Question

A box is to be filled with mangoes, each weighing $\frac{1}{10}$ kg. The weight of the box should not exceed $\frac{3}{5}$ kg. Find the maximum number of mangoes that can be put inside the box.

• A. $6$
• B. $7$
• C. $8$
• D. $4$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $6$

Weight of each mango $=\frac{1}{10}$kg

Maximum weight capacity of the box $=\frac{3}{5}$kg

Let the maximum number of mangoes that can be put inside the box be $x$

$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{10}\times x\le \frac{3}{5}$

$x\le 6$

Hence, maximum number of mangoes that can be stored in the box is $6$
