Question

Kishan bought quarter kg of onion and half kg of tomatoes. If the prices of one kg of onion is Rs. 48 and one kg of tomatoes is Rs. 28 respectively, then how much money did he pay to buy the vegetables?

• A. Rs. 12
• B. Rs. 14
• C. Rs. 18
• D. Rs. 26

Answer 1

The correct option is D Rs. 26

Given,
One kg of onion cost Rs. 48 and one kg of tomatoes cost Rs. 28.

Kishan buys quarter kg of onions and half kg of tomatoes.
Quarter = $\frac{1}{4}$ and Half = $\frac{1}{2}$

Price of quarter of onions =
$\frac{1}{4}\times 48=Rs.12$
Price of half of tomatoes = $\frac{1}{2}\times 28=Rs.14$

Total cost of vegetables =
Rs.12 + Rs.14 = Rs. 26
