The cost of 3 kg of rice is ₹180. The cost of 8 kg of rice is equal to that of 5 kg of pulse. The cost of 15 kg of pulses is equal to that of 2 kg of tea. The cost of 3 kg of tea is equal to that of 6 kg of walnuts. What is the cost (in ₹) of 10 kg of walnuts?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The Correct Answer is Option 4 i.e. 3600
Given that
8 kg Rice = 5 kg Pulse
15 kg pulse = 2 kg Tea
3 kg Tea = 6 kg Walnuts
After equalizing the ratio of Rice, Pulses, Tea, and Walnuts = 72: 45: 6: 12
then The cost of 72 units Rice = 72 * 180/3 Rs = 72 * 60 Rs
Walnuts (12 units ) = 72 * 60/12 = 360 Rs
Hence, 10 kg Walnuts cost = 360 * 10 = 3600 Rs
