The price of gold blocks is directly proportional to the squares of its weight. A gold blocks has to break in the ratio 2:3:4 but due to some reason it breaks in the ratio 7:5:6 due to this total loss would be rs 60000. Find the original cost of the gold blocks.

Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that the price of gold is directly proportional to square of its weight.
=> Price = k*weight^2
Let us say initially the weight of the nugget was 6 units
=> P(original) = k*6^2 = 36k
After breaking it down into three pieces, we get the weights as 3, 2, and 1
=> P(3) = k*3^2 = 9k
=> P(2) = k*2^2 = 4k
=> P(1) = k*1^2 = k
=> P(new) = 9k + 4k + k = 14k
Loss = 36k - 14k = 4620 Rs.
=> 22k = 4620 Rs.
=> k = 210
=> Price (original) = 210*36 = 7560 Rs.
