उत्तर २

4% decrease

Explanation:

Let initially rate of water tax was ₹ 100

By increasing the water tax rate by 20% per 1000 litre
then, water tax of 1000 litre = 120

Also, when consumption is reduced by 20%

new consumption`=1000xx80/100=800` litre

Now, water tax of 800 litres `=120/1000xx800=₹ 96`

Percentage decrease in expenditure

`=(100-96)/100xx100=4%`decrease
