Question

If 40 metres of a cloth costs Rs. 2000, then how many metres of cloth can be bought for Rs. 100

• A. 1 metres
• B. 1.5 metres
• C. 2 metres
• D. 2.5 metres

Answer 1

The correct option is C

2 metres

Let the length of the cloth to be brought be $xm$
$\frac{2000}{100}=\frac{40}{x}$
$x=\frac{40\times 100}{2000}$
$x=2metres$
