Question

A canteen requires 28 dozen bananas for a week. How many bananas will it require for 47 days?
1. 2256
2. 196
3. 2652
4. 322

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : 2256

Given:

Requirement of canteen for a week = 28 dozen

Concept used:

1 week = 7 days

1 dozen = 12 bananas

Calculation:

Bananas required in 7 days = 28 dozens

⇒ Bananas required in 1 day = 28/7

⇒ 4 dozens

Now, bananas required in 47 days = 4 × 47 dozens

⇒ 188 dozens

⇒ 188 × 12

⇒ 2256

∴ The number of bananas required for 47 days is 2256
