Find Interview Questions for Protiviti India Member limited

We are given:

• The price of rice is reduced by 2%

• Earlier, 49 kg of rice could be bought for a fixed amount of money

• We are to find: how many kg of rice can now be bought for the same amount

🧠 Let’s assume:

• Original price per kg = ₹1 (for simplicity)

• Then cost of 49 kg = ₹49

Now, after 2% reduction:

• New price per kg = ₹1 − 2% of ₹1 = ₹1 − ₹0.02 = ₹0.98

Now, for ₹49, how much rice can be bought at ₹0.98 per kg?

⇒ Quantity = ₹49 ÷ ₹0.98
⇒ Quantity = 5000 ÷ 98 = 50 kg  (approximately)

✅ Final Answer:
You can now buy 50 kg of rice for the same amount of money.
