Question:
If the price of rice is reduced by 20%, one can buy 2 kg more for  Rs. 100. The reduced price of rice per kg is –
Options:
A) ' 5
B) ' 10
C) ' 40 
D) ' 50
Solution:
Ans: (b)

let original price of rice = 2x/kg

after deduction of 20% in the price=Rs. 0.8x/kg

\(\cfrac{100}{0.8x}-\cfrac{100}{x}=2\)

\(\cfrac{100-80}{0.8x}=2\)

x=\(12\cfrac{1}{2}\)

0.8x=10

New price =10/kg
