Question

rice costing 480 is needed for 8 numbers for 20 days. what is the cost of rice required for 12 members for 15 days ?

Answer 1

rice for 8 members
days = 20
cost= 480
similarly, rice for 12 members
days= 15
let the cost of rice be x
cost = x
so,
x/480= 12/8 × 20/15
= 480×2
=960
therfore,
the cost is rupee. 960.
