Answer 2

Option 'c' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

rate of hike = 25%

Quantity = 2 kg

Paying capacity = Rs.75

So, the original price of tea would be

$\dfrac{75}{2}\times 25}{100+25}\\\\=\dfrac{75}{2}\times \dfrac{25}{125}\\\\=\dfrac{75}{2}\times \dfrac{1}{5}\\\\=\dfrac{15}{2}\\\\=7.5$

Hence, Option 'c' is correct.
