The price of pencil box is Rs $70$. If the price of pencil box is reduced by $14:13$ what will be the reduced price of pencil now?

• A. $60$
• B. $65$
• C. $75$
• D. $80$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $65$

Let the new price of pencil box be x
$\frac{\text{Original price}}{\text{New price}}$
$\therefore \frac{70}{x}=\frac{14}{3}$
$\therefore x=65$
Hence the reduced price of pencil box is Rs $65$.
