Answer : 4. "13.04%"
Explanation :
To solve this problem, let's denote:
- Initial price of sugar = P
- Initial quantity consumed = Q
- Initial expenditure = PQ
After the price increases by 15%, the new price becomes 1.15P.
To keep the expenditure constant, the new quantity consumed (let's call it Q') can be calculated using the formula:
New expenditure = New price × New quantity
Setting the new expenditure equal to the initial expenditure:
PQ = (1.15P) * Q'
Now, solve for Q':
Q' = PQ / (1.15P)
Simplify:
Q' = Q / 1.15
Now, let's find the percentage decrease in consumption:
Percentage decrease = [(Q - Q') / Q] * 100
Substituting the value of Q':
Percentage decrease = [(Q - (Q / 1.15)) / Q] * 100
Percentage decrease = [(Q * (1 - 1/1.15)) / Q] * 100
Percentage decrease ≈ [(1 - 0.8696) * 100] ≈ 13.04%
Therefore, the consumption of sugar should be decreased by approximately 13.04% to keep the expenditure on the purchase of sugar the same after a 15% increase in price.

Answer : 4. "If both I and II are strong"
Explanation :
Answer: D) If both I and II are strong Explanation: Import of sugar is directly related with the domestic production of sugar. If import of sugar is banned then it will result in hoarding of sugar besides increase in its prices (due to less supply than the requirement). Hence I is strong. Note that availability of a commodity keeps the prices of the commodity under control. Hence, II is strong.
