Answer 1

Rs 1098 can buy 45.75 apples (or approximately 45 apples, since we cannot buy a fractional part of an apple).

Explanation:

We can use proportionality to solve this problem. Since the price of apples is directly proportional to the number of apples, we can set up a proportion:

2 apples / Rs 48 = x apples / Rs 1098

To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and simplify:

2 * Rs 1098 = 48 * x

Rs 2196 = 48x

x = Rs 2196 / 48

x = 45.75

Therefore, Rs 1098 can buy 45.75 apples (or approximately 45 apples, since we cannot buy a fractional part of an apple).
