Question

The cloth required to make a trouser for a boy is 2 m. How many trousers can a tailor stitch using 48 m of cloth?

• A. 24
• B. 21
• C. 22
• D. 25

Answer 1

The correct option is A 24

Given
The cloth required for one trouser
= 2 m
Total length of cloth available = 48 m
Numbers of trousers tailor can stitch $=\frac{\text{Total length of cloth}}{\text{The cloth required for one trouser}}$
$=\frac{48}{2}$

$\begin{array}{c}24\\ 2\overline{)48}\\ \underset{–}{48}\\ 00\end{array}$
So tailor can stitch 24 trousers.
