Question:
If 14 kg of pulses cost ₹ 882, what is the cost of 22 kg of pulses?
(a) ₹ 1254
(b) ₹ 1298
(c) ₹ 1342
(d) ₹ 1386
Solution:
Let 22 kg of pulses cost ₹x.
Quantity(in kg) | 14 | 22 |
Price(in ₹) | 882 | x |
As the quantity increases, the price also increases. So, it is a case of direct proportion.
$\therefore \frac{14}{882}=\frac{22}{x}$
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{22 \times 882}{14}=1386$
Thus, the cost of 22 kg of pulses is ₹1,386.
Hence, the correct answer is option (d).
