(B) Let the original price of sugar be $P$ per $kg$.Total money available $= 49 	imes P$.After a reduction of $2 \%$,the new price per $kg$ is $P' = P - 0.02P = 0.98P$.Let the new quantity of sugar that can be bought be $Q$.Since the total money remains the same,we have $Q 	imes 0.98P = 49 	imes P$.$Q = \frac{49}{0.98} = \frac{4900}{98} = 50$ $kg$.The increase in quantity is $50 - 49 = 1$ $kg$.Therefore,$1$ $kg$ more sugar can be bought.

The price of sugar is reduced by $2 \%$. How many $kg$ of sugar can now be bought for the money which was sufficient to buy $49$ $kg$ of sugar earlier?
