Question

The cost of 6 dozen of apples is ₹500. If a lady buys 36 apples, then she has to pay to the shopkeeper.

• A. ₹250
• B. ₹200
• C. ₹350

Answer 1

The correct option is A ₹250

Given,
6 dozen of apples costs ₹500
$\Rightarrow 6\times 12=72$ apples cost ₹500

We know that,
$\text{Number of apples}\propto \text{Cost}$
Let, the cost for 36 apples be $y$

$\therefore \frac{72}{500}=\frac{36}{y}$

$\Rightarrow y=\frac{36\times 500}{72}=₹250$
