The correct Answer is:
To find the percentage increase in the sale of sarees from October to November, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Sales Amounts**: - Sales in October = रु. 1.40 lakhs - Sales in November = रु. 1.68 lakhs 2. **Calculate the Increase in Sales**: - Increase in Sales = Sales in November - Sales in October - Increase in Sales = 1.68 lakhs - 1.40 lakhs - Increase in Sales = 0.28 lakhs 3. **Calculate the Percentage Increase**: - Percentage Increase = (Increase in Sales / Original Sales) × 100 - Here, Original Sales = Sales in October = 1.40 lakhs - Percentage Increase = (0.28 lakhs / 1.40 lakhs) × 100 4. **Simplify the Calculation**: - To simplify, we can cancel out the lakhs: - Percentage Increase = (0.28 / 1.40) × 100 - Now, we can simplify 0.28 / 1.40: - 0.28 / 1.40 = 0.2 (since 0.28 is 2/10 of 1.40) 5. **Final Calculation**: - Percentage Increase = 0.2 × 100 = 20% ### Conclusion: The percentage increase in the sale of sarees from October to November is **20%**.
