Correct Answer: -20%


Solution : The correct answer is (a) -20%

Initial Price = ₹100 per unit

New Price = ₹80 per unit

Using the formula, we can calculate the percentage change in price:

Percentage Change in Price = [(New Price - Initial Price) / Initial Price] * 100

                          = [(₹80 - ₹100) / ₹100] * 100

                          = [(-₹20) / ₹100] * 100

                          = -20%

The percentage change in price is -20%
