=========================

Ok

Now Let The ρυℓѕє Price = x 

Now Increased price = x+20/100*x = 6x/5

In Order To Restore

6x/5-x / 6x/5 * 100

= x/5 * 5/6x * 100

= 50/3 = 16.67%

Answer 2

By 16.67 % must Ms. Singh reduced for consumption so that her expenditure on pulse does not increase.

Explanation:

Let us consider the original spending is 100.

It has increased 20 %, i.e. to: 100 + 20 = 120

Now she has to reduce it again to 100

So the reduction will be: increased price/new price

The reduction in percent is: increased price/new price x 100

= [(120-100)/120] x 100

= (20/120) x 100

=0.1667 x 100

= 16.67 %
