Question

Reshma wants to buy some gifts for her parents' anniversary. She has 4 kg of silver at her home. She decided to sell the silver to purchase the gifts. One gram of silver costs ₹20.25. What will be the total amount that she will receive by selling the silver?

• A. ₹71,000
• B. ₹81,000
• C. ₹80,000
• D. ₹78,500

Answer 1

The correct option is B ₹81,000

We know that 1 kg = 1000 grams.

Here, Reshma has to sell 4 kg = 4 × 1000 grams = 4000 grams of silver.

Cost of 1 gm of silver = ₹ 20.25.

$\therefore$ The cost of 4000 grams of silver = 20.25 $\times$ 4000 = $\frac{2025}{100}\times 4000$
= ₹81000

Thus, Reshma will receive ₹81000 by selling 4 kg of silver.
