Question

Sima buys $\frac{1}{2}$ kg sugar. If the cost of 1 kg sugar is ₹40, how much does Sima need to pay to the shopkeeper?

• A. ₹10
• B. ₹30
• C. ₹20
• D. ₹40

Answer 1

The correct option is C ₹20

Cost of 1 kg sugar = ₹40
$\frac{1}{2}$ kg means half kg ($\frac{1}{2}$ is a fractional form representation for half)
So, the amount of money that Sima needs to pay to the shopkeeper
= 40 $÷$ 2
= ₹20
