    A 3:13 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 1:5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 4:3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 2:9 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the price of sugar was Rs. x per kg. After increase in price, new price per kg = x + (x × 30/100) = 13x/10 For Rs. 13x/10 we get 1 kg of sugar. For Re. 1 we get 10/13x kg of sugar. For Rs. x we get 10/13 kg of sugar. Decrease in consumption of sugar = 1 – 10/13 = 3/13 Required ratio = 3/13 : 1 = 3:13
