Question

If a quarter kg of green chillies cost $60$ paise, how many paise will $200$ g cost?

• A. $48$ paise
• B. $54$ paise
• C. $56$ paise
• D. $72$ paise

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

$48$ paise

Let the required cost be $x$ paise.

Less weight, less cost.
$\therefore$ $250:200::60:x$
$\Rightarrow$ $250$ $\times$ $x=200$ $\times$ $60$
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{200\times 60}{250}=48$ paise
