Price of tea increased by 32%, expenditure increases by 10% only, initially consumption of tea was 10 Kg. Find the current consumption.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
Previous Current
Expenditure = 10 : 11 (10% = \(\frac{1}{10}\))
Price = 25 : 33 ( 32% = \(\frac{8}{25}\))
Consumption = \(\frac{10}{25}\) : \(\frac{11}{33}\)
\(\frac{2}{5}\) : \(\frac{1}{3}\)
6 : 5
⇒ 6R = 10 kg (given)
⇒ 5R = 5 × \(\frac{10}{6}\) kg = 8\(\frac{1}{3}\) Kg
Hence, Current consumption = 8\(\frac{1}{3}\) kg
**Consumption = \(\frac{Exp.}{Price}\)
