Question

A family of 5 persons can be maintained for 20 days with ₹ 2480. Find how much money is needed for 8 people for 35 days.

• A. ₹ 6944
• B. 7840
• C. ₹ 5896
• D. 8562

Answer 1

The correct option is A

₹ 6944

Let the amount required by ₹ $x$

So we have

$\frac{x}{2480}$ = $\frac{35}{20}$ $\times$ $\frac{8}{5}$

$x$ = $\frac{35\times 8\times 2480}{20\times 5}$

= ₹ 6944
