If 11.25 m of a uniform steel rod weighs 42.75 kg. what will be the weight of 10 m of the same rod?
Select the correct option: A) 38 kg B) 25.6 kg C) 28 kg D) 26.5 kg E) none of these

Rationale: "explanation : let the required weight be x kg . then , less length , less weight ( direct proportion ) = > 11.25 : 10 : : 42.75 : x = > 11.25 x x = 10 x 42.75 = > x = ( 10 x 42.75 ) / 11.25 = > x = 38 answer : a"
Answer: A
