20% raise of price followed by a discount of 25% of the raised portion will
increase the price by 10%
decrease the price by 5%
increases the price by 15%
increases the price by 15%
C.

Let original cost of the object be ₹ 100.
If 20% raised in price, then cost of the object = ₹ 120
Cost increased = ₹ (120 - 100)
= ₹ 20
∴ Discount on increased cost
= 25% of 20
∴ New cost = ₹ (120 - 5) = ₹ 115
Hence, 15% cost will be increased.
