DSSSB TGT CS Mock 02 – Question 043

Question:

If the price of petrol increases by 25%, by what percentage must a person reduce his consumption so that the overall expenditure remains unchanged?

यदि पेट्रोल के मूल्य में 25% की वृद्धि होती है, तो एक व्यक्ति को अपनी खपत में कितने प्रतिशत की कमी करनी चाहिए ताकि उसका कुल खर्च अपरिवर्तित रहे?

Options:

  • 20%
  • 25%
  • 16.67%
  • 15%
  • 20%
  • 25%
  • 16.67%
  • 15%

Correct Answer: a)

Explanation:

Reduction in consumption \(= \left(\frac{R}{100 + R} \times 100\right)\%\)
\(= \left(\frac{25}{100 + 25} \times 100\right)\% = \left(\frac{25}{125} \times 100\right)\% = \frac{1}{5} \times 100 = 20\%\) (Option a).

खपत में कमी \(= \left(\frac{R}{100 + R} \times 100\right)\%\)
\(= \left(\frac{25}{125} \times 100\right)\% = 20\%\) (विकल्प a)।
