1. A canteen requires 651 bananas for a week. Totally, how many bananas will it require for the months of April, May and June ?

A. 8463

B. 8547

C. 9086

D. 9284

Solution:

Total number of days = (30 + 31 + 30) = 91
Let the number of bananas be x
More days, More bananas (Direct proportion)

\begin{aligned} ∴ 7 : 91 :: 651 : x \\ \Rightarrow 7 x = 91 \times 651 \\ \Rightarrow x = (\frac{91 \times 651}{7}) \\ \Rightarrow x = 8463 \end{aligned}
