Question

If $24$ shirts of equal size can be made out of $30m$ of cloth, how much cloth is required for making $17$ shirts?

• A. $22.25m$
• B. $21.25m$
• C. $24.45m$
• D. $26.45m$
• E. $Noneofthese$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $21.25m$

$\Rightarrow$ Cloth is required to make $24$ shirts $=30m$

$\Rightarrow$ Cloth is required to make $1$ shirt $=\frac{30}{24}=1.25m$

$\Rightarrow$ Cloth is required to make $17$ shirts $=1.25\times 17=21.25m$
