A. 54.35
B. 57.75
C. 56.25
D. 55.35
Answer: Option C
Solution(By Examveda Team)
$$20\% = \frac{1}{5}$$\[\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {}&{{\text{Price}}}&{{\text{Total}}}&{{\text{Sales}}}&{} \\ {{\text{Old}} \to }&5&{100}&{\frac{{100}}{5}}&{ = 20} \\ {{\text{New}} \to }&4&{125}&{\frac{{125}}{4}}&{ \,\,\,\,\,\,\, = 31.25} \end{array}\]
$$\eqalign{ & {\text{Increase in sale}} = 31.25 - 20 = 11.25 \cr & {\text{Increase }}\% = \frac{{11.25}}{{20}} \times 100 = 56.25\% \cr} $$
