Vishal donates blood thrice in 2 years - each time 350 ml. How many litres of blood will he donate in 6 years?
- A.
1.2 litres
- B.
3.15 litres
- C.
4.5 litres
- D.
4.35 litres
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Concept: When a quantity accumulates at a fixed rate over repeating time periods, the total amount over a longer duration equals the amount per period multiplied by the number of such periods that fit into the longer duration.
Blood donated in one 2-year period = 3 donations x 350 ml = 1050 ml = 1.05 litres.
Number of 2-year periods in 6 years = 6 divided by 2 = 3.
Total blood donated in 6 years = 1.05 litres x 3 = 3.15 litres.
Cross-check: Equivalently, the total number of donations in 6 years = 3 donations x 3 periods = 9 donations; 9 x 350 ml = 3150 ml = 3.15 litres, confirming the answer.
