Answer : 1. "Rs. 20"
Explanation :
Answer: A) Rs. 20 Explanation: Let the original price of rice be Rs. x Let rice a man can buy for Rs. 500 at rs. x/kg be = R kgs From given data, for Rs. 500 x ---- R kgs (x + 25x/100) ---- (R - 5) kgs => Rx = (R - 5)(x + 25x/100) => Rx = (R - 5)(125x/100) => 100Rx = 125Rx - 625x => R = 25 So at rate of Rs. x/kg, man get 25 kgs for Rs. 500 => x = 500/25 = Rs. 20
