Question

If the cost of 216 bags of corn is ₹64,800, then how much will 324 bags cost?

• A. ₹97,000
• B. ₹97,200
• C. ₹1,00,000
• D. ₹95,800

Answer 1

The correct option is B ₹97,200

Given,
The cost of 216 bags is ₹64,800.

We know that,
$\text{Number of bags}\left(x\right)\propto \text{Cost}\left(y\right)$
$\therefore \frac{x_1}{y_1}=\frac{x_2}{y_2}$

Given,
$x_1=216bags$
$y_1=₹64,800$
$x_2=324bags$
$\text{and}{y}_2=\text{cost of 324 bags}$
$\Rightarrow y_2=\frac{x_2\times y_1}{x_1}$
$\Rightarrow y_2=\frac{324\times 64,800}{216}=₹97,200$

Therefore, the cost of 324 bags is ₹97,200.
