8.09 10.09 7.09 9.09

Detailed Solution & Logic

Correct Answer:

7.09

Selling price (SP₁) = ₹19.5
Profit = 10%
So,
Cost Price (CP) = $ \frac{19.5}{1.10} = ₹17.7273 $
For 50% profit, new selling price:
$ SP_2 = 1.5 \times CP = 1.5 \times 17.7273 = ₹26.59 $
Increase in selling price:
$ = 26.59 - 19.5 = ₹7.09 $
Answer = ₹7.09
