Options:

2

3

4

8

Correct Answer:

Explanation:

Go with the options:-       Pick option which is factor of 16 [i.e. 4 & 8]

So, pick option (c) 4

i) Qty. @4 per kg = \(\frac{16}{4}\) = 4 kg

When price reduce by Rs.2/kg, then

ii) Qty. @2 per kg = \(\frac{16}{2}\) = 8 kg

Therefore, Qty difference = 8 - 4 = 4 kg (i.e given in question)

Hence, option (c) is correct answer.
