Answer 1

Answer: (C)

15%

Original price of the sugar $=Rs.20$

new price of the sugar $=Rs.23$

$i.e.$ increases in price $=Rs.(23-20)=Rs.3$

hence$,$

percentage increase $=\frac{increaseinvalue}{originalvalue}\times 100$

$=\frac{3}{20}\times 100$

$=15\%$

Hence,

option $\left(A\right)$ is correct answer.
