Question

Raghu bought pulses equal to the weight of 20 guavas and 15 beetroots. If the weight of one guava is 150 g and the weight of one beetroot is 200 g, then how much kg of pulses did he buy?

• A. 4 kg
• B. 6 kg
• C. 3 kg
• D. 5 kg

Answer 1

The correct option is B 6 kg

Given:
Weight of Pulses = weight of 20 guavas + weight of 15 beetroots
Weight of 1 beetroot = 200 g
(1 kg = 1000 g)
Weight of 15 beetroots = 200g $\times$ 15 = 3000 g = 3 kg
Weight of 1 guava = 150 g
Weight of 20 guavas = 150 g $\times$ 20 = 3000 g = 3 kg
So, weight of Pulses = 3 + 3 = 6 kg
