let us take rupee 100 be the cost of 100 kg rice previously.

as the price falls by 20% new price for rice is

100-20% of 100)=80

rice could be brought= 100÷4=25 kg

Answer 2

Given:

Decrease in price of wheat = 20%

Sufficient buy = 100kg

Explanation:

Lets take rupee 100 be the cost of 100 kg rice previously as the price falls by 20%.

                              (100 - 20% of 100) = 80

Then, the new price of rice will be 80÷20

                                             = 4 per kg

Rice could be brought = 100÷4

                                     = 25kg

Answer is 125kg So, Option (c) is correct.
