• A. $30$%
• B. $35$%
• C. $39$%
• D. $50$%

Answer 1

The correct option is D $50$%

Let $x$ and $y$ be two numbers. The product of these two is $xy$

We have one third increase in $x$ and $150\%$ increase in $y$, product of them gives $\frac{x}{3}\times \frac{3y}{2}=\frac{xy}{2}⟹$ $50\%$ of $xy$.

Option D gives correct answer
