Asad bought 50 packets of biscuits for the price of Rs. 500, whereas Anum bought 25 packets of chips for the price of Rs. 1000. While comparing the prices of packets of biscuits and packet of chips, which of the following statements is correct?
Correct answer: A. Price of 4 packets of biscuits is equal to the price of 1 packet of chips
- A. Price of 4 packets of biscuits is equal to the price of 1 packet of chips
- B. Price of 1 packet of biscuits is equal to the price of 4 packets of chips
- C. Price of 2 packets of biscuits is equal to the price of 1 packet of chips
- D. Price of 1 packet of biscuits is equal to the price of 2 packets of chips
Explanation
A packet of biscuits costs 500 divided by 50, that is Rs. 10, and a packet of chips costs 1000 divided by 25, that is Rs. 40, so one packet of chips equals four packets of biscuits. Reducing both to a unit price before comparing is what makes the ratio obvious. The reversed options describe biscuits as the more expensive item, which the arithmetic contradicts.

About Logical Problems

They cover constraint-based reasoning, rankings, matching, grouping, scheduling and elimination, with attention to the difference between a complete solution and a possibility that merely satisfies one condition.
