Answer 2

The cost of rice required is rupees 540

Given:

Cost of rice needed for 20 days for 8 members is 480

To find:  

Cost of rice needed for 15 days for 12 members  

Solution:

The cost of rice for one member for 20 days $=\frac{480}{8}=R s .60$

Hence, the cost of rice for one member for one day $=\frac{60}{20}=R s .3$

It takes Rs.3 to feed one member per day with rice.

Cost of rice needed for 12 members $=12 \times 3=Rs.36\ \text{for one day}$

Cost of rice needed for 12 members for 15 days $=36 \times 15=Rs.540$
