Answer 1

Answer:

10% or 1/10 reduction in price of wheat will enable a person to buy 1/(10 - 1) or 1/9th more of wheat if expenditure remain constant.

If original quantity of wheat is q, then :

1/9 q = 50

=> q = 50 x 9 = 450 gms.

Above assertion can be proved using concepts of direct and inverse variations.
