Answer
Cost of 1 dozen oranges = ₹ 90
Cost of 12 dozen oranges = ₹ 90 x 12 = ₹ 1,080
Price of oranges is increased by ₹ 30,
∴ New price of 1 dozen oranges = ₹ (90 + 30) = ₹ 120
Let Manoj buy x dozen oranges for ₹ 120 per dozen.
| Oranges (in dozen) | Cost |
|---|---|
| 12 | 90 |
| x | 120 |
As the price of oranges has increased, so now Manoj will be able to buy lesser number of oranges with the money he has.
∴ It is a case of inverse variation.
Hence, Manoj can buy 9 dozen oranges for ₹ 1,080.
