Answer : 3. "27.77"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 27.77 Explanation: If the price of the oranges decreases by 10%, the woman would save 10% of the money that is Rs.50 to buy the same amount as before.Now in Rs. 50 she can buy 2 kg more, therefore the current price of 1 kg of oranges is Rs25.Now, this current price is after 10% reduction.       Therefore, the original price =  25/0.9  = Rs. 27.77
