(1) Rs. 3.75 

(2) Rs. 24.4 

(3) Rs. 3.45 

(4) Rs. 4.35

Answer 1

Correct option is: (3) Rs. 3.45

Given,

Committee bought 43.7 kg wheat 12 Rs/kg.

So. total amount spend for wheat \(= 43.7 \times 12= Rs. \ 524.4\)

This amount is distributed among 152 people, So, the amount of money spent for each person is: 

\(=Rs. \ \frac{524.4}{152}\)

\(=Rs. \ 34.5\)
