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. |
