Question

The yield of wheat from 8 hectares of land is 360 quintals. Find the number of hectares of land required for a yield of 540 quintals?

Answer 1

∴ 360 quintals, wheat is yielded by = 8 hectares

∴ 1 quintal wheat is yielded by = `8/360` hectares

∴ 540 quintals wheat will be yielded by = `8/360 xx 540` = 12 hectares

Hence, 540 quintals will be yielded by 12 hectares.
