If 11.25 m of a uniform steel rod weighs 42.75 kg. what will be the weight of 7 m of the same rod?	Options:  A) 22.8 kg  B) 26.6 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 : 7 : : 42.75 : x = > 11.25 x x = 7 x 42.75 = > x = ( 7 x 42.75 ) / 11.25 = > x = 26.6 answer : b"
Answer: B
