Explanation

The chapter explains multiplication with weights. Cost for 10 kg = ₹200. 20 kg is double of 10 kg. Cost = ₹200×2200 \times 2 = ₹400. Alternatively: Cost per kg = ₹200 ÷ 10 = ₹20. Total cost = 20 kg × ₹20/kg = ₹400.

Solution Steps

  1. Step 1: Cost for 10 kg iron = ₹200

  2. Step 2: 20 kg = 2×102 \times 10 kg

  3. Step 3: Total cost = 2 × ₹200 = ₹400
