If the cost of x metres of wire is d rupees, then what is the cost of y metres of wire at the same rate ?

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Although we can first calculate the cost of one toy and then can multiply it with 40 to get the result.
but we will solve it with chain rule so that we can prepare ourself for other complex problems which we can solve easily by applying this rule.

Let the required cost be Rs. x
More toys means More Cost. (Direct Proportion)

\begin{aligned}
15:40 :: 240:x \\
=> x = \frac{240*40}{15} \\
=> x = 640
\end{aligned}

So 40 toys will cost Rs 640

Answer: Option C

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

As it is given that food is there for 54 days for 2000 students,
But after 15 days, remaining food was sufficient for 2000 students for 39 days only ( as 54-15 = 39 )
Let x number of students came in hostel after 15 days,
=> Total number of students after 15 days = 2000 + x
=> Remaining food was enough for (2000 + x) students for 20 days
So here is indirect proportion, as more people and less food
=> 2000 : ( 2000 + x ) :: 20 : 39
=> 2000 * 39 = ( 2000 + x ) * 20
=> 3900 = 2000 + x
=> x = 3900 - 2000
=> x = 1900

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let the time required by x seconds.
Then, More cloth means More time (Direct Proportion)
So,
\begin{aligned}
0.128 : 1 :: 25 : x
=> x = \frac{25*1}{0.128} \\
=> x = 195.31
\end{aligned}

So time will be approx 195 seconds

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Quarter of Kg means 250 gm

Less weight, less price (Direct Proportion)
So,
\begin{aligned}
250:200 :: 60:x \\
=> x = \frac{200*60}{250} \\
=> x = 48
\end{aligned}

So 200 gm will cost 48 paise.
