The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will use the unitary method. ### Step 1: Find the cost of 1 meter of silk. The cost of 37 meters of silk is given as ₹6290. To find the cost of 1 meter, we divide the total cost by the total length. \[ \text{Cost of 1 meter} = \frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Total Length}} = \frac{6290}{37} \] Calculating this gives: \[ \text{Cost of 1 meter} = 170 \text{ rupees} \] ### Step 2: Find out how many meters can be bought with ₹4420. Now that we know the cost of 1 meter of silk is ₹170, we need to find out how many meters can be purchased with ₹4420. We do this by dividing the total amount of money by the cost of 1 meter. \[ \text{Length of silk that can be purchased} = \frac{\text{Total Money}}{\text{Cost of 1 meter}} = \frac{4420}{170} \] Calculating this gives: \[ \text{Length of silk that can be purchased} = 26 \text{ meters} \] ### Final Answer: You can purchase **26 meters** of silk for ₹4420. ---
