Question

If 14 kg of pulses cost ₹ 882, what is the cost of 22 kg of pulses?
(a) ₹ 1254
(b) ₹ 1298
(c) ₹ 1342
(d) ₹ 1386

Answer 1

Let 22 kg of pulses cost ₹x.

Quantity(in kg)	14	22
Price(in ₹)	882	x

As the quantity increases, the price also increases. So, it is a case of direct proportion.
$$\begin{gathered} \therefore \frac{14}{882}=\frac{22}{x} \\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{22\times 882}{14}=1386 \end{gathered}$$
Thus, the cost of 22 kg of pulses is ₹1,386.

Hence, the correct answer is option (d).
