Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
A
Let the new S.P. be Rs. x
$$\eqalign{ & {\text{Then,}} \cr & 80:9 = 105:x \cr & \Rightarrow x = \left( {\frac{{9 \times 105}}{{80}}} \right) \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = 11.81 \cr} $$
$$\eqalign{ & {\text{Then,}} \cr & 80:9 = 105:x \cr & \Rightarrow x = \left( {\frac{{9 \times 105}}{{80}}} \right) \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = 11.81 \cr} $$
