Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Rs. 3500
Area of cloth = Length × Breadth
A person purchases a silk cloth of length 50 m and width 1 m at the rate of Rs. 250 per sq m
Total cloth purchased by person = 50 × 1 = 50m
Total amount spent = 50 × 250 = 12500Rs
In second case person spent 40 × 2 × 8000 = 16000
Differece = 16000 - 12500 = 3500 Rs
