If 1000 units cost Rs. 1,50,000 and 1500 units cost Rs. 1,75,000, then how much does 2,100 units cost?
Correct Answer
C. 2,05,000
Explanation
Let's find the cost per unit by dividing the total cost by the number of units.
For 1000 units, the cost is Rs. 1,50,000, so the cost per unit is Rs. 150.
For 1500 units, the cost is Rs. 1,75,000, so the cost per unit is Rs. 116.67.
Now, we can calculate the cost for 2100 units by multiplying the cost per unit (Rs. 116.67) by 2100.
2100 * 116.67 = Rs. 2,45,003.33
Therefore, the cost for 2100 units is approximately Rs. 2,45,000.
