When the price of sugar was increased by 32%, a family reduced its consumption in such a way that the expenditure on sugar was only 10% more than before. If 30 kg were consumed per month before, find the new monthly consumption.\nOptions:\n(A) 20 kg\n(B) 25 kg\n(C) 30 kg\n(D) 35 kg\n(E) None of these Let's think first. Stream of consciousness:

Since, expenditure = price × consumption\n∴ 110% of 30 = 132⁄100 × new consumption\n⇒ 110⁄100 × 30 = 132⁄100 × new consumption\n⇒ New consumption = 25 kg
So, the answer is (B).
