Options:
A) Rs. 31.11./kg, Rs.28/kg
B) Rs.30/kg, Rs.28/kg
C) Rs.31kg, Rs.29/kg
D) Rs.\(28\cfrac{1}{9}\)/kg, Rs.31/kg.
Solution:
Ans: (a)

Money spent originally = Rs. 140.
Less Money to be spent now,
= 10% of 140
= Rs. 14
Rs. 14 now yield 500gm sugar.
So, Present rate of sugar = Rs. 28 per kg.
If the present value is Rs. 90, the original value
= Rs. 100.
If the present value is Rs. 28 the original value,
= Rs. (1 0 0/9 0)*2 8 = Rs. 31.11.
