    D) 2

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] Let n erasers be available for a rupee. Reduced price \[=\left( \frac{75}{100}\times 1 \right)=\frac{3}{4}\] \[\text{Rs}\text{.}\,\,\frac{3}{4}\] fetch n erasers Rs. 1 will fetch \[\left( n\times \frac{4}{3} \right)\] erasers. \[\therefore \]      \[\frac{4n}{3}=n+2\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[4n=3n+6\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[n=6\]
