Solution

The correct option is A ₹21
Given that
Ram purchased 1.5 kgs of tomato for ₹35.

Also, 4.5 kg of tomato is required to prepare 5 kg of tomato pickle.

The first step is to find per kg cost of tomato.

Now, cost of 1 kg of tomato
= ₹ $\frac{35}{1.5}$ = ₹ $\frac{35 \times 2}{1.5 \times 2}$ = ₹ $\frac{70}{3}$

Given that 4.5 kg of tomato is required to prepare 5 kg tomato pickle

Then tomatoes required for making of 1 kg of pickle = $\frac{4.5}{5}$ kgs = 0.9 kgs

Cost of tomato for 1 kg of tomato pickle $= 0.9 \times ₹ \frac{70}{3}$ = ₹21
