a) 1100 gm
b) 1050 gm
c) 1030 gm
d) 1010 gm
Correct answer is: b) 1050 gm
Explanation
8 kg of stainless steel is required 560 gm chromium
\therefore 1 kg of stainless steel is required =\large\frac{560}{8} gm chromium
\therefore 15 kg of stainless steel is required =\large\left(\frac{560\times15}{8}\right) gm chromium
\rightarrow 1050 gm chromium
Ans: 1050 gm of chromium required to make 15 kg stainless steel.
Another way, Rules of Three Method
Here, Chromium and Stainless Steel are Directly Proportional.
\therefore\;8\;:\;15\;:\;:\;560\;:\;x
\rightarrow\large\frac{8}{15}=\frac{560}{x}
\rightarrow 8x=560\times15
\rightarrow x=\large\frac{560\times15}{8}
\rightarrow x=1050 gm
Ans: 1050 gm of chromium required to make 15 kg stainless steel.
Additional variations of this particular math query are:
- If 560 gm of chromium is needed to make 8 kg of stainless steel, how much chromium is required to make 15 kg of stainless steel?
- How many grams of chromium are needed to produce 15 kg of stainless steel if 560 gm of chromium is required for 8 kg?
- If 560 gm of chromium is used to make 8 kg of stainless steel, how much chromium is needed to produce 15 kg of stainless steel?
- Suppose 560 gm of chromium is necessary to make 8 kg of stainless steel. How much chromium is required to make 15 kg of stainless steel?
