Correct Answer: TK $\frac{40}{3}$

Explanation:

In 100 Tk, the price of petrol reduced = TK 40

So, Present Price of 5 liter petrol = 40 TK

So, Present Price of 5 liter petrol =$\frac{40}{5}$= 8 TK

Again, at 40% reduction, price of petrol = 100-40 = TK 60

As present price TK 60, former price was = 100 TK

As present price TK 8, former price was = $\frac{100\cdot8}{60}$ TK = TK $\frac{40}{3}$
