Price of a diamond is directly proportional to the square of its weight. A man broke the diamond accidently in three pieces in the ratio of 4 : 6 : 9 respectively and thus loses Rs. 27,360. What was the original price of the diamond ? Correct Answer Rs. 43320
Given:
Lose due to broken is Rs. 27,360
Calculation:
Actual Weight of diamond = 4x + 6x + 9x = 19x
According to question
⇒ (19x)2 – = Rs 27,360
⇒ 228x2 = 27360
⇒ x2 = 120
Original weight of a diamond = 4 + 6 + 9
Price of a diamond is directly proportional to the square of its weight
Actual weight for price will be
⇒ (4 + 6 + 9)2 = (19)2 = 361
⇒ Actual price = 361 × 120
⇒ Rs. 43,220
∴ The required answer is Rs. 43,320
