Correct Answer: INR 80
Solution : Given: The cost of a notebook increases in proportion to the number of pages in it. A notebook having 100 pages costs INR 20. Let the cost of a notebook having 400 pages be $x$. According to the question, $100:20::400:x$ ⇒ $\frac{100}{20}=\frac{400}{x}$ ⇒ $x=\frac{20×400}{100}=80$ Hence, the correct answer is INR 80.
