A) Rs. 20 B) Rs. 24
C) Rs. 26 D) Rs. 29

Let rice a man can buy for Rs. 500 at rs. x/kg be = R kgs

From given data, for Rs. 500

x ---- R kgs

(x + 25x/100) ---- (R - 5) kgs

=> Rx = (R - 5)(x + 25x/100)

=> Rx = (R - 5)(125x/100)

=> 100Rx = 125Rx - 625x

=> R = 25

So at rate of Rs. x/kg, man get 25 kgs for Rs. 500

=> x = 500/25 = Rs. 20
