Question

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

• A. Rs. $12,000$
• B. Rs. $12,600$
• C. Rs. $16,200$
• D. None of these

Answer 1

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

Let the cost of $36$ bags be Rs.$x$
$\therefore$ Ratio between the number of books $=$ Ratio between their costs.

$48:36=16800:x$

$\Rightarrow \frac{48}{36}=\frac{16800}{x}\Rightarrow x=\frac{16800\times 36}{48}=12,600$
Therefore, the cost of $36$ bags is Rs.$12,600$
