Due to deflation, there is a decrease of \(33\frac{1}{3}\%\) in the price of bananas. If 3 more bananas are available for Rs. 18, what is the difference between the initial and present rate of bananas per dozen is1). Rs. 42). Rs. 83). Rs. 124). Rs. 16

Answer»

LET initial PRICE of banana be Rs. x

Initial number of bananas in Rs. 18 = 18/x

New price of banana = x – ((100/3)/100) × x = 2x/3

New number of bananas in Rs. 18 = 18/(2x/3) = 27/x

27/x – 18/x = 3

x = 3

Difference in rate of dozen banana = 12(x) – 12(2x/3) = 36 – 24 = Rs. 12
