Question
A person purchases tomatoes from each of the 4 places at the rate of 1 kg, 2 kg, 3 kg, 4 kg per rupee respectively. On an average he has purchased x kg of tomatoes per rupee. Then the value of x is::
Solution
The average rate of tomatoes per rupee can be calculated by adding up all the rates and dividing by the number of places.
Step 1: Add up all the rates. 1 kg/rupee + 2 kg/rupee + 3 kg/rupee + 4 kg/rupee = 10 kg/rupee
Step 2: Divide the total rate by the number of places. 10 kg/rupee ÷ 4 places = 2.5 kg/rupee
So, the value of x is 2.5 kg/rupee.
