Question

Fish A weighs 50 kg and Fish B weighs 5kg. If both are kept in a weighing balance, how many fishes of type B should be kept to equalize the weight?

• A. 5 fishes
• B. 20 fishes
• C. 10 fishes
• D. 1 fish

Answer 1

The correct option is C 10 fishes

$\text{Weight of Fish A}=50kg\text{Weight of Fish B}=5kg$

$\text{Number of fishes required to equalize}$
$\text{the weight}=\frac{50kg}{5kg}=10\text{fishes.}$
Weight of Fish A= 10(Weight of Fish B)
