Solution

Let's solve this step by step:

  1. First, we need to find out the original price of wheat. We know that due to a 20% reduction in price, a man can get 10 kg more wheat for Rs 600. This means that the 20% reduction in price equals the price of 10 kg of wheat.

  2. So, if 20% reduction equals Rs 600, then 100% (which is the original price) equals Rs 600 * 5 = Rs 3000. This is because 100% is 5 times 20%.

  3. Now, we know that the original price for 10 kg of wheat was Rs 3000. So, the original price per kg was Rs 3000 / 10 = Rs 300.

  4. After a 20% reduction, the new price per kg is 80% of the original price (because 100% - 20% = 80%). So, the new price per kg is 80% of Rs 300 = Rs 240.

  5. Therefore, the new rate of wheat is Rs 240 per kg.

However, none of the options (a. Rs 11.50 / kg, b. Rs 12 /kg, c. Rs 12.50/ kg, d. Rs 13/ kg) match this answer. There seems to be a mistake in the question or the options provided.
