    Okay, one pappu question for CSAT..
    If the price of Sugar increases by 20%, how much should the consumption decrease so that monthly budget remains the same ? :-)

    Show how you solved. Will tell you an amazing trick then.

    yup, how did you calculate? :-)
    Let’s say the Initial price of sugar = Rs. x/ kg
    Initial consumption of sugar = y kgs
    Hence Budget = xy = B (say)………(i)

    New price = x + (20 % of x) = 6x/5
    Let new consumption = y’
    Budget = 6xy’/5 = B……………..(ii)

    From (i) & (ii)
    Consumption decrease = [(y-y’)/y] * 100 = 16.67%
    :)
