Answer 2

Answer:

(a) both have the same value

Step-by-step explanation:

Two packets are available for sale.

packet a: peanuts 100 gms for Rs 48 only

packet b: peanuts 150 gms for Rs 72 only

Packet a

100gm cost = Rs 48

1 gm cost = 48/100   Rs = 48 Paise

48 paise per gm cost of packet a

Packet b

150gm cost = Rs 72

1 gm cost = 72/150   Rs =  24/50 Rs = 48 Paise

48 paise per gm cost of packet b

comparing both

cost per gram is same for both packets

(a) both have the same value

so option a is correct
