Solution

Item Price of each Number of items Cost (in ₹)

Borewell for fresh water ₹3000 1 ₹3000 $\times$ 1
= ₹3000

Bamboo rack for fish drying ₹2000 20 ₹2000 $\times$ 20 = ₹40000

Cement tank ₹1000 4 ₹1000 $\times$ 4
= ₹4000

Tray and knife ₹300 20 ₹300 $\times$ 20
= ₹6000

Bucket ₹ 75 20 ₹75 $\times$ 20
= ₹1500

Total cost to set up the factory = ₹3000 + ₹40000 + ₹4000 + ₹6000 + ₹1500 = ₹54500
