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.
Choose the correct choice from the following options:
A) 20 kg B) 25 kg C) 30 kg D) 35 kg E) None of these
Since, expenditure = price × consumption   ∴ 110% of 30 = 132⁄100 × new consumption   ⇒ 110⁄100 × 30 = 132⁄100 × new consumption   ⇒ New consumption = 25 kg   Answer 25 kg
<result>B</result>
