Question 72

A person purchases a silk cloth of length 50 m and width 1 m at the rate of ₹ 250 per sq m and a cotton cloth of length 40 m and width 2m at the rate of ₹ 200 per sq m. What is the difference between the prices of two cloths?

Solution

Length of silk cloth = 50 m
Width of silk cloth = 1 m
Area of silk cloth = 50*1 = 50 sq.m.
Price per sq.m = Rs.250
Total price = Rs.250*50 = Rs.12500
Length of cotton cloth = 40 m
Width of cotton cloth = 2 m
Area of cotton cloth = 40*2 = 80 sq.m.
Price per sq.m = Rs.200
Total price = Rs.200*80 = Rs.16000
Therefore, Difference between the prices = Rs.16000 - Rs.12500 = Rs.3500.
