Cost price of B = 1.2X
Cost price of C = 0.75(1.2X) = 0.9X
Cost price of D = 1.4(0.9X) = 1.26X = 252
Amount paid by A for the article = Rs. 200.

Q:

The base of a triangular field is three times its altitude. If the cost of cultivating the field at Rs. 24.68 per hectare be Rs. 333.18, find its base and height.

A) B=900;H=300 B) B=300;H=900
C) B=600;H=700 D) B=500;H=900
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) B=900;H=300

Explanation:

Area of the field = Total cost/rate = (333.18/25.6) = 13.5 hectares
13.5*10000m2=135000m2 
Let altitude = x metres  and  base = 3x metres.
Then, 12*3x*x=135000x2=90000x=300 

Base = 900 m and Altitude = 300 m.
