Due to reduction of 25% in price of oranges a customer can purchase 4 oranges more for Rs. 16. What is the original price of an oranges?
Correct Answer: Re. 1.33
Explanation:
It is based on inverse proportion or product constancy concept.
Reduction in price = 25% (1 / 4)
Increase in amount = 33.33% ( 1 / 3 ) = 4 oranges
∴ Original price of oranges = 16 / 12 = Rs. 1.33
