1.  The price of ghee is increased by 32%. Therefore, a family reduces its consumption, so that the increment in price of ghee is only 10%. If consumption of ghee is 10 kg before the increment, then What is the consumption now ?
A. 8(1/3) kg
B. 8(3/4) kg
C. 8(1/2) kg
D. 9 kg

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Let price of ghee before increment = ₹N

Consumption = 10 kg

Then, expenditure on ghee = ₹10N

After increment,

Expenditure on ghee = 110% of 10N = 11N

Price of ghee = 132% of N = (N x 132)/100 = 33N/25 per kg

∴ Now consumption = (11N x 25) / 33N kg

                            = 8(1/3)
