Question:
If a quarter kg of potato costs 60 paise, how many paise will 200 gm cost?

[A].

48 paise

[B].

54 paise

[C].

56 paise

[D].

72 paise

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Let the required weight be x kg.

Less weight, Less cost (Direct Proportion)

250 : 200 :: 60 : x       250 x x = (200 x 60)

x= (200 x 60)
250

x = 48.
