Question

114 meters of yarn was found to weigh 3 grammes. Calculate the count of the yarn.

• A. 38
• B. 117
• C. 111
• D. 342

Hint:

In metric count: Count = Length (m) ÷ Weight (g). Always check whether metric or English system is implied.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Recall formula for yarn count (Metric system).
Count (Nm) = Length of yarn in meters / Weight of yarn in grams.
Here, count is expressed as meters per gram.
Step 2: Substitute values.
Length = 114 m, Weight = 3 g.
So, Count = 114 ÷ 3 = 38 Nm.
Step 3: Correction (English system).
But if we calculate in English system (yards/pound), conversion may be needed.
Here the problem directly suggests a metric count type, so answer = 38.
Step 4: Double-check options.
Given options: 38, 117, 111, 342.
Metric system gives 38.
Step 5: Conclusion.
Therefore, the count is 38.
