Correct Answer: Rs. 200


Solution : The ratio of the quantity of Rice : Wheat = 4 : 3
Price of an equal quantity of Rice : Wheat = 5 : 6
Total cost of Rice : Total cost of Wheat
= 4 × 5 : 3 × 6
= 20 : 18
= 10 : 9
∴ Total cost of rice = $\frac{10}{19} \times 380$ = Rs. 200
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 200.
