Question

The yield of wheat from 6 hectares land is 280 quintals. Find the number of hectares required for a yield if 225 quintals

Answer 1

6 hectares of land yields 280 quintals of rice

Each quintal of rice is yielded from = 6/280 hectares = 3/140 hectares

To get the hectares required to yield 255 quintals, we multiple 3/140 by 255

= 3/140 x 255 = 5.46 hectares

Therefore, yielding 255 quintals of rice require 5.46 hectares of land.

Answer 2

Solution :-

This question can be solved by unitary method.

The get 280 quintals yield of wheat, land required = 6 hectares

To get 1 quintal yield of wheat, land required = 6/280 hectare

To get 225 quintals yield of wheat, land required = (6*225)/280 hectares

⇒ 1350/280 hectares

= 4.8214 hectares or 4.82 hectares (Approximately)

So, 4.82 hectares of land will be required to get 225 quintals yield of wheat.
