If, as a result of these changes, he is able to increase his weekly collection by Rs. 1, 68,000, find by what value did the gross collection increases per day?

    Let initially his total collection was 100.
    100 ==20% reduced price of Tickets ==>80 ==40% sales up ==> 112.
    Sales Increased = 12
    12 = 168000
    1 = 168000/12
    112 = (168000 * 112)/12 = 1568000.
    Weekly Gross Collection = 1568000.
    Thus, Daily gross collection = 1568000/7 = Rs. 224000.
