Detailed Solution

Given,
The weight of 12 sheets of paper is 50 grams.
Let the number of sheets that weigh 500grams be x.
Then,

No. of sheets

12

x

Weight (in grams)

50

500

As this is the case of direct proportion, therefore the ratio will remain constant throughout the table that is,
12 50 = x 500  
Multiplying both sides by 500,
x= 12 50 ×500  
x=12×10  
x=120  
Hence, the number of sheets that weigh 500grams is 120.
Therefore, option 3 is correct.
