Question 11

Product A is costlier than product B by ₹2. If the price of product A is increased by two times the price of product B, the new price of product A becomes ₹17. What is the price of product B?

Solution

Let the price of product A be x, so the price of product B = x - 2.

According to the question,

x + 2(x-2) = 17, solving this we get,

x + 2x - 4 = 17,

3x = 17 + 4

3x = 21, x = 7

Price of Product A = Rs. 7, so Price of Product B = 7 - 2 = Rs 5.
