Question : A reduction of 10% in the price of sugar enables a housewife to buy 6.2 kg more for Rs. 1116. The reduced price per kg is:
Option 1: Rs. 12
Option 2: Rs. 14
Option 3: Rs. 16
Option 4: Rs. 18
Correct Answer: Rs. 18
Solution :
The price of quantity we get more = The reduction in the price
Reduced price of 6.2 kg of sugar
= 10% of Rs. 1116
= $\frac{10}{100}$ × 1116
= Rs. 111.60
At this price only, an extra 6.2 kg of sugar is obtained.
Thus, reduced price per kg = $\frac{111.60}{6.2}$ = Rs. 18
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 18.
