The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step-by-step, we can follow these calculations: ### Step 1: Understand the Price Change Let the original price of sugar per kg be \( P \). After a 10% decrease, the new price becomes: \[ \text{New Price} = P - 0.1P = 0.9P \] ### Step 2: Set Up the Equation for Quantity According to the problem, the consumer can buy 5 kg more sugar for Rs 270 after the price decrease. Let’s denote the quantity of sugar bought at the original price as \( Q_1 \) and at the reduced price as \( Q_2 \): \[ Q_1 = \frac{270}{P} \quad \text{(original quantity)} \] \[ Q_2 = \frac{270}{0.9P} \quad \text{(new quantity)} \] ### Step 3: Relate the Quantities From the problem, we know that: \[ Q_2 = Q_1 + 5 \] Substituting the expressions for \( Q_1 \) and \( Q_2 \): \[ \frac{270}{0.9P} = \frac{270}{P} + 5 \] ### Step 4: Simplify the Equation To eliminate the fractions, we can multiply through by \( 0.9P \): \[ 270 = 0.9 \times 270 + 5 \times 0.9P \] Calculating \( 0.9 \times 270 \): \[ 270 = 243 + 4.5P \] ### Step 5: Solve for \( P \) Rearranging the equation to isolate \( P \): \[ 270 - 243 = 4.5P \] \[ 27 = 4.5P \] Dividing both sides by 4.5: \[ P = \frac{27}{4.5} = 6 \text{ Rs/kg} \] ### Step 6: Calculate the Reduced Price Now, we can find the reduced price: \[ \text{Reduced Price} = 0.9P = 0.9 \times 6 = 5.4 \text{ Rs/kg} \] ### Step 7: Find the Difference in Price Finally, the difference between the original price and the reduced price is: \[ \text{Difference} = P - \text{Reduced Price} = 6 - 5.4 = 0.6 \text{ Rs/kg} \] ### Conclusion Thus, the difference between the original and reduced price per kg is: \[ \text{Difference} = 0.6 \text{ Rs/kg} \]

To solve the problem step-by-step, we can follow these calculations: ### Step 1: Understand the Price Change Let the original price of sugar per kg be \( P \). After a 10% decrease, the new price becomes: \[ \text{New Price} = P - 0.1P = 0.9P \] ...
