The price of ghee is increased by 32%. Therefore, a family reduces its consumption, so that the increment in price of ghee is only 10%. If consumption of ghee is 10 kg before the increment, then What is the consumption now ?
-
- 81/3 kg
- 83/4 kg
- 81/2 kg
- 9 kg
Correct Option: A
Let price of ghee before increment = ₹ N
Consumption = 10 kg
Then, expenditure on ghee = ₹ 10N
After increment,
Expenditure on ghee = 110% of 10N = 11N
Price of ghee = 132% of N = (N x 132)/100 = 33N/25 per kg
∴ Now consumption = (11N x 25) / 33N kg
= 81/3 kg
