Answer
View full question & answer→Cost of 0.25 quintal of hirada = Rs 9500
∴ Cost of 1 quintal of hirada = 9500 ÷ 0.25
$=9500 \div \frac{25}{100}=9500 \times \frac{100}{25}=\frac{950000 \times 4}{25 \times 4}=\frac{38,00,000}{100}$
= Rs 38,000
∴ Cost per quintal of hirada is Rs 38,000.
∴ Cost of 1 quintal of hirada = 9500 ÷ 0.25
$=9500 \div \frac{25}{100}=9500 \times \frac{100}{25}=\frac{950000 \times 4}{25 \times 4}=\frac{38,00,000}{100}$
= Rs 38,000
∴ Cost per quintal of hirada is Rs 38,000.
