    A)  Rs. 3 per kg       

    B)  Rs. 3.50 per kg

    C)  Rs. 4 per kg     

    D)         Rs. 4.50 per kg  

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Owing to reduction in price of potatoes, there is a saving of \[25%\] on \[Rs.100\] i.e.         \[\frac{25}{100}\times 100=Rs.25\] With \[Rs.25\]he can purchase \[6.25\text{ }kg\] of potatoes \[\therefore \] Reduced price of \[6.25\text{ }kg\] of potatoes \[=Rs.\text{ }25\] \[\Rightarrow \] Produced price of 1 kg of potatoes\[=Rs.\,\frac{25}{6.25}=Rs.4\]
