Question

If Ravi sells 4 gallons of juice at ₹400, then he will make by selling 17 gallons of juice.

• A. ₹700
• B. ₹1700
• C. ₹1600

Answer 1

The correct option is B ₹1700

Let Ravi make ₹ x by selling 17 gallons of juice.

According to the question,

He sells 4 gallons of juice for ₹400
And 17 gallons of juice for ₹ x

Hence,

$\frac{4}{17}$ = $\frac{400}{x}$
$4x=400\times 17$
x = $\frac{400\times 17}{4}$
$9x=100\times 17$
x = 1700

Therefore, Ravi will make ₹1700 by selling 17 gallons of juice.
