Question

If 520 mangoes can be bought for Rs.600, how many can be bought for Rs.1500?

• A. 1040
• B. 1200
• C. 1300
• D. 1560

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 1300

Given:

For Rs. 600 , 520 mangoes can be bought.

Hence No.of mangoes for 1Rs. = $\frac{520}{600}$

For Rs. 1500

$=\frac{520}{600}\times{1500}$

$=\frac{520}{6}\times{15}$

$=260\times{5}$

$=1300$

For Rs. 1500 there are 1300 mangoes bought.

Alternate Method:

520:600 :: x:1500

$\frac{520}{600} : : \frac{x}{1500}$

$x = 520\times{\frac{1500}{600}}=1300$
