When the cost of petroleum increases by 40%, a man reduces his annual consumption by 20%. Find the percentage change in his annual expenditure on petroleum.

Answer: (c)

First expenditure:

Suppose 100 litres of petroleum at 100 units of money per litre, then total expenditure = 100 × 100 units of money = 10000 units of money.

Second expenditure:

Now 80 litres of petroleum at 140 units of money per litre, total expenditure = 80 × 140 units of money = 11200 units.

Expenditure increases by

${11200 - 10000}/10000 × 10$ = 12%

Short-cut:

$Exp_1 = PX, Exp_2$ = 1.4P (0.8X) = 1.12 PX.
