The value of stone varies with square of its weight. A stone is fallen and break into two pieces as ratio of their weights is 3 : 5. Find the loss occurred if the price of the stone is Rs. 1600.1. Rs. 5002. Rs. 6503. Rs. 8704. Rs. 7505. Rs. 800

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : Rs. 750

Given:

The cost of a piece of stone varies with the square of its weight loss.

⇒ Price = k × weight2......(k is any constant)       

Let the weight of a piece of stone be (3a + 5a = 8a).

Calculation:

The initial value of stone = k.64a2

⇒ 64ka2 = 1600

Then,

The new value of stone becomes = k (9a2 + 25a2) = 34ka2

New value of stone = (34 × 1600)/64 = Rs. 850

∴ Loss occurred = 1600 - 850 = Rs. 750
