Running at the same constant rate, 6 identical machines can produce a total of 270 bottles per minute. At this rate, how many bottles could 10 such machines produce in 4 minutes?
648
1800
2700
10800
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Let the required number of bottles be x.

More machines, More bottles (Direct Proportion)

More minutes, More bottles (Direct Proportion)

Machines 6 : 10 :: 270 : x
Time (in minutes) 1 : 4

6 x 1 x x = 10 x 4 x 270

x = (10 x 4 x 270)
(6)

x = 1800.

Simple way
6 - 270
10 - ?
= 450 bottles
Now 450 in 1 minute so in 4 minutes= 1800

Well explanation given by sauji & nikhil.

1 machine can produce= 270/6=45 bottles (in 1 minute)
10 machines can produce=10*45=450 bottles(in 1 minute)
so in 4 minutes no of bottles produced= 450*4=1800

M1*H1/W1 = M2*H2/W2
6*1/270 = 10*4/W2
W2= 1800

Production in 6 minutes = 270

Production in 01 minutes = 270/6

Production in 40 minutes = 270/6 *40 = 1800.
