The cost of 16 packets of salt,each weighing 900 grams is Rs.28.What will be the cost of 27 packets ,if each packet weighs 1Kg ?

  1. rs. 52.50

  2. rs. 56

  3. rs. 58.50

  4. rs. 64.75


Correct Option: A

AI Explanation

To solve this problem, we can use the concept of proportionality.

Let's start by comparing the cost and weight of the salt packets in the given scenario.

Given: Cost of 16 packets of salt = Rs. 28 Weight of each packet = 900 grams

We need to find: Cost of 27 packets of salt (with each packet weighing 1 Kg)

To compare the cost, we can set up a proportion based on the weight of the packets:

$\frac{16\ \text{packets}}{27\ \text{packets}} = \frac{900\ \text{grams}}{1\ \text{kg}}$

Simplifying this proportion:

$\frac{16}{27} = \frac{900}{1000}$

Cross-multiplying:

$16 \times 1000 = 27 \times 900$

Simplifying further:

$16000 = 24300$

Since the equation is not balanced, we can conclude that the given options are incorrect.

Therefore, none of the options provided is correct.
