- Published on 15 Jun 15

a. 48 paise
b. 62 paise
c. 54 paise
d. 26 paise

ANSWER: 48 paise
 
Let 200 gm potato cost X paise

According to question,
Cost of 1/4 Kg potato = 60 Paise

=> Cost of 250 gm potato = 60 Paise

=> 1 Kg = 1000 gm

=> 1/4 Kg = 1000/4 gm = 250 gm

By direct proportion, more quantity, more cost
200 grams : 250 grams = X : 60

=> 200*60 = 250 X

=> 12000 = 250 X

=> X = 48

=> Thus, the cost of 200 grams is 48 paise.
