Question

The ratio of the cost of an item to its quantity is 2 :3 . If the cost of the item is ₹ 450, find the quantity

• A. 575
• B. 675
• C. 875
• D. 475

Answer 1

The correct option is B

675

Given that the ratio of cost of the item to quantity = 2 : 3

Cost of the item = ₹ 450 and let the quantity be $x$

$\therefore$ $\frac{2}{3}$ = $\frac{450}{x}$

$2x$ = $450\times 3$

$x$ = 675

Hence if the cost is ₹ 450, then the quantity is 675
