Due to a 25% reduction in the price of oranges, a customer can purchase 4 more oranges for Rs. 16. What was the original price of an orange?

A
Rs. 1
B
Rs. 1.33
C
Rs. 1.5
D
Rs. 1.6
Correct Option: B

Explanation

Let the original price per orange be ₹x. After a 25% reduction, the price becomes 0.75x. From 16/(0.75x) − 16/x = 4, we get x = 4/3 ≈ ₹1.33.
