Question 80
The yield of wheat from 8 hectares of land is 360 quintals. Find the number of hectares of land required for a yield of 540 quintals.
Given, the yield of wheat from 8 hectares of land is 360 quintals.
i.e. 360 quintals wheat is yielded by = 8 hectares.
Using unitary method in which first we find the value of one unit and then the value of the required number of units.
1 quintal wheat is yielded by = 8360 hectares.
540 quintals wheat will be yielded by = 8360×540=12 hectares.
Hence, 540 quintals will be yielded by 12 hectares.
