If a reduction of 10% in the price of rice enables a person to obtain 22 kg more for ₹250, then the original price of rice per kg is:
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. ₹1.26.
Let's assume the initial price of the rice = 100x
After reduction of 10% in the price of rice = 100x × (100 - 10)/100 = 90x
According to the question,
250/90x - 250/100x = 22
(2500 - 2250) = 19800x
250 = 19800x
x = 0.0126
So, the initial price = 100x = 100 × 0.0126 = 1.26
