Answer 1

$<b>Heya mate. (^_-). Solution below.$
====================================

♠ Before 6 months,

• Total amount of sugar bought = 24 kg

• Total money used = 264 Rs.

→→→ Rate of Sugar,

= Total money/total amount

= 264/24

= 11 Rs./kg

•°• Earlier, the cost of 1 kg sugar was 11 Rs.

♠ After six months,

• Total amount of sugar bought = 22 kg

• Total money used = 264 Rs.

→→→ Rate of sugar,

= total money/total amount

= 264/22

= 12 Rs./kg

•°• Today, the cost of 1 kg sugar is 12 Rs.

♠ So, increase in price of sugar,

= new price - old price

= 12 - 11

= 1 Rs.

•°• Increase in the price of sugar is 1 Rs./kg.
