Question

Manpreet wants 1500 sacks of cement for making a house. A truck carries 250 sacks at a time. The driver charges ₹500 for a trip. How much will Manpreet pay the driver for all the trips taken to transport 1500 sacks?

• A. ₹500
• B. ₹1500
• C. ₹3000
• D. ₹6000

Answer 1

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 $÷$ 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
