Solution

The correct option is B Peter Pan Ltd. will benefit as they will have more money.
A ₹2 inflation did not pinch anyone, as it did not affect anyone majorly. So, inflation from the producer's point of view is beneficial. With the increased production, new job opportunities would be created. This in turn would increase the treasury of the government through taxes highlighting that inflation is beneficial in some cases. Controlled inflation helps in expanding production and promoting economic growth in the country.
