The price of pulses is reduced by 10%. How many kg of pulses can now be bought for the money which was sufficient to buy 50 kg of pulses earlier?1. 50.55 kg2. 55.55 kg3. 52.55 kg4. 54.55 kg

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 55.55 kg

Given:

Amount of pulses to be bought = 50 kg

Reduced price of the pulses = 10%

Calculations:

Let original price = Rs. 100 per kg

Money required to buy 50 kg of pulses = Rs. (100 × 50) = Rs. 5000

New price = (100 – 10) = Rs. 90 per kg

The quantity of pulses bought = (5000/90) kg

⇒ 55.55 kg

∴ The quantity of pulses that can be bought is 55.55 kg.
