The cost of an apple is twice that of a banana and the cost of banana is 25% less than that of a guava. If the cost of each type of fruit increases by 10%, then the percentage increase in cost of 4 bananas, 2 apples and 3 guavas is

  • 10%

  • 12%

  • 16%

  • 18%


A.

10%

Let the cost of one banana = ₹ 100
∴       cost of an apple  = ₹ 200
         cost of guava:
                 equals space open parentheses 75 over 100 space equals space 100 space close parentheses
equals space open parentheses fraction numerator 100 space cross times space 100 over denominator 75 end fraction close parentheses space equals space 400 over 3
Total cost of 4 bananas, 2 apples and 3 guavas
     = (4 x 100) + (2 x 200) + (3 x 400/3) = ₹ 1200  ...(i)

After 10% increase in the cost of all fruits
    New cost of banana = ₹ 110
           cost of an apple = 220
            cost of a guava = 440/3

Total cost of 4 bananas, 2 apples and 3 guavas after increase of 10%:
(4 x 110) + (2 x 220) + (3 x 440/3) = ₹ 1320  ...(ii)

From (i) and (ii),
Required percentage increase:
   equals space open parentheses fraction numerator 1320 minus 1200 over denominator 1200 end fraction space cross times space 100 close parentheses
equals space space 10 percent sign
