Question

If the cost of 48 bags of paddy is Rs 16,800, then cost of 36 bags of paddy is Rs__________

• A. 12,800
• B. 14,800
• C. 14,600
• D. 12,600

Answer 1

The correct option is D

12,600

Let the cost of 36 bags be Rs x

$\therefore$ Ratio between the number of bags = Ratio between their costs

48:36 = 16800:x

$\frac{48}{36}$ = $\frac{16800}{x}$

x = $\frac{16800\times 36}{48}$

x = 12,600

∴ The cost of 36 bags is Rs 12,600
