Q:

When the price of rice decrease by 10%, a girl could buy 1 kg more for Rs. 270. Then, the original price of the rice per kg is

A) Rs. 36 B) Rs. 30
C) Rs. 28 D) Rs. 40
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Rs. 30

Explanation:

From the given data,

When the price of rice is decreased by 10%, the value of Rs. 270 would become

270 x 100/90 = 300

Now, the value 270 becomes 300

And given, the girl could buy 1 kg extra for that value

Change in value = 300 - 270 = Rs. 30

 

Therefore, 1 kg extra rice she can get for Rs. 30

 

=> The original price of rice = Rs. 30/kg.

 

As she gets only 9 kgs for Rs. 270 before 10% discount, now after discount she gets 10 kgs instead of 9 kgs for Rs. 270.
