Answer 2

36 bags of paddy costs 12600.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

The cost of 48 bags of paddy is 16,800

The cost of 36 bags of paddy?

In unitary method_

48 bags of paddy costs 16,800

∴ 1 bag of paddy costs (16800/48) = 350

∴ 36 bags of paddy costs (350*36)

                                          = 12600

In proportional method_

Let, the cost of 36 bags of paddy be, 'x'

Since it is in direct proportion as if the number of bags of paddy increases then the cost of paddy also increases and similarly if the number of bags of paddy decreases then he cost also decreases.

Hence,

x: 36 :: 16800 : 48

⇒ x/36 = 16800 / 48

⇒ x = (16800*36)/48

⇒ x = 350*36

⇒ x = 12600

∴ 36 bags of paddy costs 12600.
