Question

Satish is very conscious of the food he eats. He eats only rotis and dal. A cup of dal costs Rs 2 while a roti costs one rupee and Satish decides to spend only Rs 13 per day on food. Also he decides to consume only 5500 calories a day. He has been told that each day

• A. He consumes 3 rotis and 5 cups of dal
• B. He consumes no more than 3 rotis per day
• C. He consumes 5 rotis and 5 cups of dal per day
• D. He consumes 5 cups of dal per day

Hint:

To find the solution, ensure the total expenditure equals the budget and satisfies the daily calorie requirement.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Satish spends Rs 13 per day:
- Roti costs Rs 1 and dal costs Rs 2. He consumes 3 rotis and 5 cups of dal per day to meet the calorie intake limit. 

Thus, the total expenditure is: \(3×1+5×2=3+10=13\)

Thus, the correct answer is (a).
