Question

I decided to purchase anniversary gift for my parents; from my piggy bank, I got Rs.2000. In the gift shop, every 3 gifts cost Rs.500. I can buy myself 12 gifts with the money I have.

• A. 6 gifts
• B. 5 gifts

Answer 1

The correct option is A

6 gifts

$\begin{array}{ccc}\text{Number of gifts}& \text{3}& \text{y}\\ \text{Price (In Rupees)}& \text{500}& \text{2000}\end{array}$

As number of gift purchased increases the cost increases. So, they make direct proportional releationship.
$\frac{3}{500}=\frac{y}{2000}$

$⟹y=\frac{3\times 2000}{500}=12\text{gifts}$
