Answer
Given:
Price of an article last year = ₹ 680
Price of an article this year = ₹ 816
Difference in price = Price of an article this year - Price of an article last year
= ₹ 816 - ₹ 680
Percentage change in the price = %
= %
Price of the article this year is greater than price of the article last year, means percentage change will increase.
Hence,option 3 is the correct option.
