The reaction A + B ? C is catalyzed by enzyme K. If the reaction is in equilibrium, which of the following would allow more product C to be produced?

The reaction A + B ? C is catalyzed by enzyme K. If the reaction is in equilibrium, which of the following would allow more product C to be produced? Correct Answer removing some of reactant C

B. The reaction is in equilibrium because the concentrations of reactants and product are such that the rate of the forward reaction (formation of product C) equals that of the reverse reaction (formation of A and B from C), and the net production of C (or A and B) is zero. By decreasing C, the forward reaction will again exceed that of the reverse reaction, producing more C, until equilibrium is reached again. Adding more enzyme would only help if there were a considerable excess of reactants (essentially, not enough enzyme to go around). Increasing the temperature could increase the rate of reactions (in both directions), but if the reaction is in equilibrium, the net production of product will still be zero.

Two stores A and B bought the same product from the company at the same price. Store A marked the price of the product 50% above its cost price and offered two successive discounts of 15% and 10% on the marked price of the product, while store B marked the price of the product 60% above its cost price and offered two successive discounts of 15% and 12% on the marked price of the product. If a customer buys the product from store B, he has to pay Rs. 986 more than that at store A. At what price the two stores bought the product from the company?
