The price of sugar is decreased by 20%. If the expenditure on sugar is to be kept same then the ratio between increase in consumption to actual consumption will be: |
4 : 5 5 : 4 1 : 4 1 : 5 |
1 : 4 |
Price × Consumption = Expenditure *(If expenditure remains same the price is inversely proportional to consumption) Therefore, 20% = \(\frac{1}{5}\) Price ratio: 5 : 4 Consumption: 4 : 5 Hence, Increase : Actual Consumption: 1 : 4 |
