The price of wheat is decreased by 28%. If the expenditure on wheat is to be kept same then the ratio between increase in consumption to actual consumption will be: |
7 : 15 17 : 8 7 : 18 5 : 18 |
7 : 18 |
Price × Consumption = Expenditure *(If expenditure remains same the price is inversely proportional to consumption) Therefore, 28% = \(\frac{7}{25}\) Price ratio: 25 : 18 Consumption: 18 : 25 Hence, Increase : Actual Consumption: 7 : 18 |
