Question:

A reduction of 20%, in the rate of sugar enables Sudhir to get 6 kg more sugar for ₹960. What is the reduced rate of sugar per kg?

Options:

₹35

₹36

₹32

₹40

Correct Answer:

₹32

Explanation:

20% =  \(\frac{1}{5}\)

                       Initial       :       New

Price                     5        :          4

Quantity                4        :          5

{ Price ∝ \(\frac{1}{Quantity}\)  }

ATQ,

1R = 6 kg

New quantity bought with reduced price = 5 × 6 = 30 kg

Reduced price of sugar = \(\frac{960}{30}\) 

= Rs. 32
