If a quarter kg of potato costs 60 paise, how many paise will 200 gm cost?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Let the required weight be x kg.
Less weight, Less cost (Direct Proportion)
250 : 200 :: 60 : x 
250 x x = (200 x 60)
 x= |
(200 x 60) |
| 250 |
x = 48.

60/250*200 = 48.
250 = 1/4 quarter.
250 = 1/4 quarter.

This is my solution.
1kg=1000gm.
quarter 1kg =1 ÷ 4*1000=250gm.
250gm potato=60paisa.
200gm potato=?.
First of all convert gm to kg.
60paise * 1000gm ÷ 250=240kg.
1kg = 240rupee.
240rupee * 200gm ÷ 1000gm = 48paisa.
200gm = 48 paisa.
1kg=1000gm.
quarter 1kg =1 ÷ 4*1000=250gm.
250gm potato=60paisa.
200gm potato=?.
First of all convert gm to kg.
60paise * 1000gm ÷ 250=240kg.
1kg = 240rupee.
240rupee * 200gm ÷ 1000gm = 48paisa.
200gm = 48 paisa.
