• A. ₹1,250
• B. ₹1,260
• C. ₹1,270
• D. ₹1,280

Answer 1

The correct option is B ₹1,260

Quarterly means = 3 months

Using unitary method in which first we find the value of one unit and then the value of the required number of units.
$\because$ The fee for 3 months = ₹540 [Given]
$\therefore$ The fee for 1 month = ₹ $\frac{540}{3}$
$\therefore$ The fee for 7 months = ₹ $\frac{540}{3}\times 7$ = ₹$1260$
Hence, fee for seven months is ₹1,260.
