Solution
Amount increases for x every year = ₹ 10.
Price of x in 2018 = ₹ 50
Price of x in 2019
= ₹ 50 + ₹ 10
= ₹ 60
Price of x in 2020 = ₹ 60 + ₹ 10
= ₹ 70
Amount decreases for y per year = ₹ 15
Price of y in 2018 = ₹ 90
Price of y in 2019 = ₹ 90 – ₹ 15 = ₹ 75
Price of y in 2020 = ₹ 75 – ₹ 15 = ₹ 60
Here 70 > 60
Item x will costlier in the year 2020.
