If the price of 23 toys is 276, then what will the price of 12 toys ?

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Quarter of Kg means 250 gm

Less weight, less price (Direct Proportion)
So,
\begin{aligned}
250:200 :: 60:x \\
=> x = \frac{200*60}{250} \\
=> x = 48
\end{aligned}

So 200 gm will cost 48 paise.

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Less toys, Less Price (Direct Proportion)
So, let the price be Rs. x
then,
\begin{aligned}
23:12 :: 276:x
=> x = \frac{276*12}{23} \\
=> x = 144
\end{aligned}

So price of 12 toys will be Rs. 144

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let the time required by x seconds.
Then, More cloth means More time (Direct Proportion)
So,
\begin{aligned}
0.128 : 1 :: 25 : x
=> x = \frac{25*1}{0.128} \\
=> x = 195.31
\end{aligned}

So time will be approx 195 seconds

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Less shadow, Less Height (Direct Proportion)
So, let height of building be x metre
then,
\begin{aligned}
40.25 : 17.5 :: 28.75 : x \\

=> x = \frac{17.5*28.75}{40.25} \\
=> x = 12.5
\end{aligned}

So height of building should be 12.5 metre

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Although we can first calculate the cost of one toy and then can multiply it with 40 to get the result.
but we will solve it with chain rule so that we can prepare ourself for other complex problems which we can solve easily by applying this rule.

Let the required cost be Rs. x
More toys means More Cost. (Direct Proportion)

\begin{aligned}
15:40 :: 240:x \\
=> x = \frac{240*40}{15} \\
=> x = 640
\end{aligned}

So 40 toys will cost Rs 640
