let's say the price of 1kg of sugar be x so number of kgs of sugar bought are 120/x. When reduction happens, price falls to 0.75 per kg. sugar bought in kgs is 160/x. difference in sugars bought in both cases specified is 160/x-120/x=40/x which is equal to 5. x=8 hence original price of 1 kg of sugar is ₹8. reduced price of 1 kg of sugar is ₹6.
