The price of turmeric has increased by 20%. Basanti has decided to spend only 8% more than what he initially did on buying turmeric. What is the ratio between Basanti's initial and last turmeric consumption? Correct Answer 10 ∶ 9

Given:

The price of turmeric has increased by 20%

After this Basanti has decided to spend only 8% more than what he initially did.

Calculation:

Let the initial price of turmeric be Rs. 100 per unit and Basanti's consumption be 10 units

Then Initial amount that Basnti spent on turmeric = 100 × 10 = Rs. 1000

Now the price of turmeric has increased by 20%.

So new price of turmeric = 120% of 100 = Rs. 120

Basanti has decided to spend only 8% more than what he initially did

Then new total amount spent on turmeric = 108% of 1000 = Rs. 1,080

So New consumption = 1080 / 120 = 9 unit

Now to find the ratio between Basanti's initial and last turmeric consumption

⇒ Basanti's initial consumption ∶ new consumption

⇒ 10 ∶ 9

∴ The ratio between Basanti's initial and last turmeric consumption is 10 ∶ 9.
