Question

The area required for 200 animals (x) is

• A. 15 acres
• B. 20 acres
• C. 24 acres
• D. 30 acres

Answer 1

The correct option is C 24 acres

From the data,$\frac{y}{x}$ is calculated as:

So, $\frac{y}{x}=\frac{6}{50}$
$\Rightarrow y=\frac{6}{50}\times x$

∴ When $x=200$,
$y=\frac{6}{50}\times 200$
$=6\times 4$
$=24$

So, area required for 200 animals is 24 acres.
