  5. Rs 10


Correct Option: B

AI Explanation

To find the reduced price of oranges per kg, we will follow these steps:

Step 1: Let's assume the original price of oranges per kg is x. Step 2: The price of oranges after the reduction is (100 - 33.33)% of x, which is (66.67/100) * x. Step 3: Atul can buy 3 kgs more apples for Rs.99. This means that the price of 3 kgs of apples is Rs.99. Step 4: The price of 1 kg of apples is Rs.99/3. Step 5: Since Atul can buy 3 kgs more apples with the same amount, the price of apples has not changed. Step 6: Therefore, (66.67/100) * x = Rs.99/3. Step 7: Solving for x, we get x = (Rs.99/3) * (100/66.67). Step 8: Simplifying, we get x = Rs. 49.50. Step 9: The reduced price of oranges per kg is Rs.49.50.

Therefore, the correct answer is option B) Rs. 11.
