Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Rs. 201.
Let the original price of sugar per kg be xxx rupees.
The price is increased by 34%, and the increase is Rs. 51.
Increase = Original Price × Percentage Increase/100
⇒ 51 = x × 34/100
⇒ x = (51 × 100)/34
⇒ x = 5100/34 = 150
New Price = Original Price + Increase
New Price = 150 + 51 = 201
