Answer

Given:

Total length of cloth = 30 m

Required length for one suit = 3343\dfrac{3}{4} m = 154\dfrac{15}{4} m

Total number of suits = ?

Total number of suits = Total length of cloth ÷ Required length for one suit

Substituting the values in above, we get:

Total number of suits = 30 m ÷ 154\dfrac{15}{4} m

=30×415[Reciprocal of 154 is 415]=30×415=2×41[Dividing 30 and 15 by 15]=81=8= 30 \times \dfrac{4}{15} \quad \left[\text{Reciprocal of } \dfrac{15}{4} \text{ is } \dfrac{4}{15}\right] \\[1em] = \dfrac{30 \times 4}{15} \\[1em] = \dfrac{2 \times 4}{1} \quad \text{[Dividing 30 and 15 by 15]} \\[1em] = \dfrac{8}{1} = 8

∴ 8 suits can be prepared from 30 m of cloth.

Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
