Question

Rambabu purchased 1.5 kgs of tomato for 35 rupees. If 5.6 kg of tomato is required to prepare 5 kg tomato pickle. What is the cost of 1 kg of tomato pickle given that only tomatoes are used for the preparation of the pickle?

• A. Rs. 28
• B. Rs. 34
• C. Rs. 24
• D. Rs. 26

Answer 1

The correct option is A Rs. 28

Cost of 1 kg of tomato = Rs. $\frac{35}{1.5}$ = Rs. $\frac{70}{3}$

Tomatoes required for making of 1 kg of pickle = $\frac{5.6}{5}$ kgs=1.2 kgs.

Cost of 1kg of tomato pickle = (1.2)$\times$ $\frac{70}{3}$ = Rs. 28
