Solution

The correct option is C ₹3000
Number of cement sacks required for making the house = 1500
Number of sacks that the truck can carry in 1 trip = 250
Number of trips required to transport 1500 sacks = 1500 $\div$ 250
= 6

Amount of money charged by the driver for a trip = ₹500
Amount of money that Manpreet needs to pay for 6 trips = 500 $\times$ 6
= ₹3000
