Product A is costlier than product B by Rs. 2. If the price of product A is increased by two times the price of product B. the new price of product A become Rs. 17. What is the price of product B? Correct Answer Rs. 5

Given:

Product A is costlier than product B by Rs. 2.

A - B = 2

If the price of product A is increased by two times the price of product B, the new price of product A become Rs. 17.

According to statement:

A + 2B = 17

2 + B + 2B = 17

3B = 15

B = 5

Hence, the price of product B is Rs. 5.
