Question

The price of $357$ mangoes is $Rs.\mathrm{1517.25.}$ What will be the approximate price of $49$ dozens of such mangoes?

• A. $Rs.3000$
• B. $Rs.3500$
• C. $Rs.4000$
• D. $Rs.2500$

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

$Rs.2500$

Let the required price be Rs. x. Then, more mangoes, more price
$\therefore$ $357:(49\times 12)::1517.25:x$
$\Rightarrow 357x=(49\times 12\times 1517.25)$
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{(49\times 12\times 1517.25)}{357}=2499$
Hence, the approximate price is Rs. 2500
