a) What will be the cost of 8 kg of wheat?

b) What quantity of wheat can be purchased in ₹ 61?

• A. ₹ 96 and 5.08 kg
• B. ₹ 12 and 30.5 kg
• C. ₹ 84 and 12 kg
• D. ₹ 108 and 5.48 kg

Answer 1

The correct option is A

₹ 96 and 5.08 kg

Cost of 6 kg of wheat = ₹ 72

Cost of 1 kg of wheat $=\frac{72}{6}$ = ₹ 12

Cost of 8 kg of wheat = 12 $\times$ 8 = ₹ 96

The quantity of wheat that can be purchased in ₹ 72 = 6 kg (given)

The quantity of wheat that can be purchased in $₹1=\frac{6}{72}$

Quantity of wheat that can be purchased in $₹61=\frac{6}{72}\times 61$
$=5.08kg$
