Question

soaps weighing 50 g each is to be kept on one pan of the balance scale to balance 400 g of dal.

• A. 2
• B. 4
• C. 8

Answer 1

The correct option is C 8

Weight on one pan of the balance = 400 g
Weight of the soap = 50 g

Number of soaps needed to balance the weight of 400 g of dal
$=\frac{400\text{g}}{50\text{g}}$
$=8$

$\therefore$ To balance the weight of 400 grams of dal, we need 8 soaps each weighing 50 grams.
