A. Rs. 6.48

B. Rs. 12.96

C. Rs. 10.80

D. Rs. 14.40

Answer: Option A

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Let initial expenditure = 100 units

Required increment = $$\frac{10}{90}$$ = $$\frac{1}{9}$$
1 unit = 10 apples
Original consumption = 9 units
= 9 × 10 = 90 apples
New consumption = 10 units
= 10 × 10 = 100 apples
New price = $$\frac{54}{100}$$ × 12 = Rs. 6.48 per dozen
