Answer 1

Item	Price of each	Number of items	Cost
Bore well for fresh water Bamboo rack for fish drying Cement tank Tray and knife Bucket	Rs 3000 Rs 2000 Rs 1000 Rs 300 Rs 75	1 20 4 20 20	Rs 3000 Rs 40000 Rs 4000 Rs 6000 Rs 1500

Total cost to set up the factory = Rs 3000 + Rs 40000 + Rs 4000 + Rs 6000 + Rs 1500
= Rs 54,500

Weight of fresh fish = 6000 kg
Weight of dried fish = 6000 kg ÷ 3
= 2000 kg
