The price of 1 kg apple in Srinagar is reduced by Rs. 0.6 per Kg which allows a man to purchase 1.5 Kg more apple for Rs. 55. Find the original price of apple per Kg? 1. Rs. 112. Rs. 53. Rs. 64. Rs. 4

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : Rs. 5

Given:

Decrease in price = Rs. 0.6/Kg

Final purchase - Initial purchase = 1.5 Kg

Total amount of apples bought = Rs. 55

Concept:

Number of Kg apple bought = (Total money)/(price of 1 kg apple)

Calculation:

Let, the initial price of apple = Rs. a/Kg

Price after reduction = Rs.(a - 0.6)/Kg

[55/(a - 0.6)] - (55/a) = 1.5

⇒ (55a - 55a + 33)/(a2 - 0.6a) = 1.5

⇒ 33 = 1.5a2 - 0.9a

⇒ 22 = a2 - 0.6a

By Values putting from the option;

We get a = 5

∴ The original price of apple per Kg is Rs. 5.
