Step-by-step explanation:
Let the original price of one-litre petrol be Rs.x
In Rs.1320 we obtain
x
1320
litres of petrol at this rate
If the price is increased by Rs.5, then the new price of petrol is Rs. (x+5) per litre.
Then,
In Rs.1320 we obtain
x+5
1320
litres of petrol at the new price
According to the given condition, one gets 2 litres less petrol on spending Rs.1320
Petrol obtained at old price − petrol obtained at new price =2
∴
x
1320
−
x+5
1320
=2
∴ 1320(x+5)−1320x=2x(x+5)
∴ 1320x+6600−1320x=2x
2
+10x
∴ 2x
2
+10x−6600=0
∴ x
2
+5x−3300=0
∴ x
2
+60x−55x−3300=0
∴ (x+60)(x−55)=0
∴ x=−60 or x=55
But x=−60 is not possible (price of petrol cannot be negative), so x=55
The old price of petrol is Rs.55/litre and the increased price is Rs.60/litre
