<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Isha has ₹900 with her and she wants to buy as much petrol as she can with the amount. If only bottles of one litre of petrol costing ₹110 are available, how much money will she be left with?

• A. ₹50
• B. ₹50
• C. ₹20
• D. ₹20

Answer 1

The correct option is C ₹20

Total money wih Isha = ₹900
Cost of 1 L petrol = ₹110

To calculate the balance amount after purchasing the bottles, let's divide 900 by 110


$$\begin{array}{c}8\\ 110900\\ -\underset{–}{880}2\\ 20\end{array}$$Thus, we have a quotient of 8 and a remainder of 20.

So, Isha will be left with ₹20 after buying 8 bottles of petrol.
