The correct Answer is:
To find the cost of 1 quintal of wheat when \( \frac{3}{5} \) quintal costs Rs. 210, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the given information We know that \( \frac{3}{5} \) quintal of wheat costs Rs. 210. ### Step 2: Set up the equation Let the cost of 1 quintal of wheat be \( x \). We can express the relationship as: \[ \frac{3}{5} \text{ quintal} = 210 \text{ Rs} \] ### Step 3: Find the cost of 1 quintal To find the cost of 1 quintal, we can set up a proportion: \[ \frac{3}{5} \text{ quintal} = 210 \text{ Rs} \implies 1 \text{ quintal} = x \text{ Rs} \] To find \( x \), we can multiply both sides of the equation by \( \frac{5}{3} \): \[ x = 210 \times \frac{5}{3} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the cost Now, we perform the calculation: \[ x = 210 \times \frac{5}{3} = 210 \times \frac{5}{3} = 210 \times 1.6667 \approx 350 \] ### Step 5: Conclusion Thus, the cost of 1 quintal of wheat is Rs. 350. ---
