Answer 1

Rupees 72000 is the answer

Answer 2

Answer:

4, Rs 72,000

Step-by-step explanation:

A pond in a field holds 120000 litres of water. It costs 18000 rupees to make such a pond. How many ponds will be required to store 480000 litres of water, and what would be the expense?

So we need to find the number of ponds and the cost of the same.

So 1,20,000 litres of water is required to make 1 pond

Therefore 4,80,000 litres of water is required to make 4,80,000 / 1,20,000 = 4 ponds.

Now cost of 1 pond will be Rs 18,000

So cost of 4 ponds will be 18,000 x 4 = Rs 72,000
