Question

An increase of 30% in the price of oranges enables a man to buy 6 kg less for Rs. 300. Find the increased price per kg.

• A. 16
• B. 15
• C. 17
• D. 18

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

15

The statement implies that the man has $30\%$ of Rs.$300$ available to spend on $6kgs$ now.

$30\%$ of $300=\frac{30}{100}\times 300=90$

So,the increased price per kg is $\frac{90}{6}=Rs.15$ per kg
