Question

If $48$ bags of paddy cost Rs.$16,800$ then find the cost (in Rs.) of $36$ bags of paddy.

• A. Rs.$12,600$
• B. Rs.$12,000$
• C. Rs.$14,600$
• D. Rs.$16,000$

Answer 1

The correct option is A Rs.$12,600$

For $48$ bags of paddy costs = Rs $16,800$

For $1$ bag of paddy costs = Rs $\frac{16800}{48}$

then for $36$ bags of paddy = Rs $\left(\frac{16800}{48}\right)\times 36$

$=4200\times 3$

$=Rs.12,600$.
