Solution
| Item | Price of each | Number of items | Cost |
| Borewell for freshwater | Rs 3000 | 1 | 1 × 3000 = 3000 rupees |
| Bamboo rack for fish drying | Rs 2000 | 20 | 20 × 2000 = 40000 rupees |
| Cement tank | Rs 1000 | 4 | 4 × 1000 = 4000 rupees |
| Tray and knife | Rs 300 | 20 | 20 × 300 = 6000 rupees |
| Bucket | Rs 75 | 20 | 20 × 75 = 1500 rupees |
Total cost to set up the factory
= 3000 + 40000 + 4000 + 6000 + 1500
= 54500 rupees
Fresh fish in 1 month = 6000 kg
Dry fish in 1 month
= `1/3 xx 6000`
= 2000 kg
