A200

B220

C240

D260

Answer:

A. 200

Read Explanation:

Let the original price of handbag be 100x

when the price increased by 40%

new price = 140x

the price of half a dozen handbags was rupees 1680

price of 6 handbags = 1680

price of one handbag = 16806\frac{1680}{6} = 280

ie., 280 is the new prize of the handbag.

⇒140x=280

x=2x= 2

Original prize of handbag = 100×2100\times{2}

=200Rs.=200 Rs.
