For Rs. 1000, 10000 kgs are carried 100 kms by goods train.If the rate of carriage by ship is one-fourth of that by rail,for how many kms can 8000 kgs be carried for Rs.800 by ship?

(A)256
(B)300
(C)400
(D)500
(E)625
It takes time and effort to explain, so if my comment helped you please press Thanks button :)



Just because something is hard doesn't mean you shouldn't try,it means you should just try harder.

for 1 Kg, 1 kg the rate in train = 10^3/10^4*10^2 = 10^-3
Ship rate = 10^-3/4 = 2.5*10^-4

Kms that can be carried by a ship with 8000kg and for 800 Rs = 800/(8000* 2.5*10^-4) =400

by train Rs. 1000 --> 10000kgs --->100 kms
Rs. 100 --> 1000 kgs ---> 100 kms

since rate of carriage by ship is one-fourth of that by rail, so
Rs. 25 --> 1000 kgs ---> 100 kms
Rs. 200 --> 8000kgs ---> 100 kms
Rs. 800 --> 8000 kgs ---> [spoiler]400 kms Ans (c)[/spoiler]
