The price of sugar having gone down by 10%, a consumer can buy 5 kg more sugar for ₹ 270. The difference between the original and reduced price per kg is

  • 62 paise

  • 60 paise

  • 75 paise

  • 53 paise


B.

60 paise

Let the original price of sugar be  ₹ x
∴  Reduced price of sugar = 90% of x = ₹ 9x/10.
Now, according to the question,
  rightwards double arrow space space space space space fraction numerator 270 over denominator 9 straight x divided by 10 end fraction space minus space 270 over straight x space equals space 5
rightwards double arrow space space space space space fraction numerator 270 space cross times space 10 over denominator 9 straight x end fraction space minus space 270 over straight x space equals space 5
rightwards double arrow space space space space space fraction numerator 300 space over denominator straight x end fraction space minus space 270 over straight x space equals space 5
therefore space space space space space space space space straight x space equals space 30 over 5 space equals space 6
∴  Original price of sugar = ₹ 6
 Reduced price of sugar will be
              equals space 9 over 10 space cross times space straight x space equals space 9 over 10 space cross times space 6 space equals space ₹ space 5.40
∴  Required difference = ₹ (6 - 5.40) = ₹ 0.60 or 60 paise.
