The price of sugar increases by 32%. A family reduces its consumption so that the expenditure of the sugar is up by 10% only. If the total consumption of sugar before the price rise was 10 kg per month, then the consumption of sugar per month at present (in kg) is :

a. 8(1 / 3)
b. 8(1 / 2)
c. 8(3 / 4)
d. 9

Read Solution (Total 3)

8.33333
let initially 10kg sugar= 100rs.
on increased price 10kg SUGAR= 132rs.
consumer uses sugar= 110rs.
therefore 1rs. sugar = 10/132kg
and 110rs. sugar = 10*110/132=8.3333

at original 10 kg *100(assumption)=1000
after 32% increase in price ,
xkg*132=1100(only 10% increase can be managed)
x=8(1/3)

10kg-100rs

Now 10kg-132
so for 110rs u will get 1100/132=8.3333
