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

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

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

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Rs 96 and 5.08 kg

Cost of $6kg$ of wheat = Rs $72$

Cost of $1kg$ of wheat = $\frac{72}{6}=Rs12$

Cost of $8kg$ of wheat = $12\times 8=Rs96$

Quantity of wheat that can be purchased in Rs $1=\frac{6}{12}$

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