Correct Answer: -16.7%


Solution : The correct answer is (c) -16.7%

Percentage change in price = [(New price - Initial price) / Initial price] * 100%

Given that the initial price is ₹12 per unit and the new price is ₹10 per unit, we can substitute these values into the formula:

Percentage change in price = [ (10 - 12) / 12 ] * 100%

                        = [ (-2) / 12 ] * 100%

                        = (-1/6) * 100%

                        = -16.7%

Therefore, the percentage change in price is -16.7%.
