Product A is costlier than product B by Rs. 2. If the price of product A is increased by two times the price of product B, the new price of product A becomes Rs. 17. What is the price of product B?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e Rs. 5
Let price of product B = x
Price of product A = x + 2
Given
New price of A = A + 2 × B = 17
(x + 2) + 2x = 17
3x + 2 = 17
3x = 15
x = 5
