A. Rs. 31.11

B. Rs. 29.22

C. Rs. 33.11

D. Rs. 32.22

Answer: Option A

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Money spent originally = Rs. 140
Less Money to be spent now
= 10% of 140
= Rs. 14
Rs. 14 now yield 500 gm sugar
So, Present rate of sugar = Rs. 28 per kg.
If the present value is Rs. 90, the original value = Rs. 100
If the present value is Rs. 28 the original value
$$ = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. }}\frac{{100}}{{90}} \times 28 = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. }}31.11$$
