Question

If the cost of 6 kg of wheat is ₹ 120 then what will be the cost of 1 kg of wheat and hence find the quantity of wheat that can be bought for ₹ 1200.

• A. ₹ 12, 12 kg
• B. ₹ 20 , 10 kg
• C. ₹ 78 , 8 kg
• D. ₹ 96 , 16 kg

Answer 1

The correct option is B

₹ 20 , 10 kg

Given, cost of 6 kg of wheat = ₹ 120

Cost of 1 kg of wheat
$=\frac{120}{6}$

$=₹20$

Hence, the quantity of wheat that can be bought for ₹ 1200 = $\frac{\text{Total Amount}}{\text{Cost of 1 kg of wheat}}$

$=\frac{1200}{120}$

= 10 kg
