Given : Due to increase of 33.33% in the price of apples, a customer can purchase 4 apples less for Rs 16.  

To Find : What is the original price (in paise) of an apple?

A) 100 B) 125 C) 150 D) 400/3

Solution:

Let say  original Price of on an Apple  = 3A  Rs

Apples can be be bought in   16 Rs  = 16/3A

Increase of 33.33% in the price of apples

=> New price = 3A  + (33.33/100)3A  

= 3A + A

= 4A  Rs

Apples can be bought now = 16/4A = 4/A

16/3A  - 4/A  =  4

=> 16  - 12  = 12A

=> 4 = 12A

=> 1 = 3A

Price of on Apple  = 3A  Rs  = 1 Rs

1Rs = 100 Paise

original price per apple =  100 Paise
