Read the passage carefully and answer the questions based on the passage:

Macroeconomic Variables

In an economy where two goods, wheat and cloth, are produced. A representative consumer buys 90 kg of wheat and 5 pieces of cloth in a year. Suppose in the year 2022 the price of a kg of wheat was Rs. 10 and a piece of cloth was Rs. 100. The prices of a kg of wheat and a piece of cloth went up to Rs. 15 and Rs. 120 respectively in the year 2025. It is worth noting that many commodities have two sets of prices. One is the retail price which the consumer actually pays. The other is the wholesale price, the price at which goods are traded in bulk. These two may differ in value because of the margin kept by traders.

The total sum that the consumer has to spend on wheat in 2025?

Rs 1,350

The correct answer is Option (1) → Rs 1,350

In 2025,

• Price of wheat per kg = Rs 15

• Quantity of wheat consumed = 90 kg

Total expenditure on wheat = Price × Quantity
= 15 × 90
= Rs 1,350
