Answer»

Let the ORIGINAL price of an apple be Rs. A.

There is INCREASE in price of an apple by 20%.

New price of an apple 

= A + 20/100 × A

= 6A/5

Then,

There are 2 apple LESS available for Rs. 100.

⇒ (100/A) - (100/(6A/5)) = 2

⇒ 600 - 500 = 12A

⇒ 12A = 100

⇒ A = 100/12

Present price of an apple 

= 100/12 × 6/5

= 10

Average price of old price and present price of an apple 

= {(100/12)+10} / 2

= 55/6

∴ Average price of old price and present price of an apple be Rs. 55/6.
