Correct Answer: 21


Solution : The cost of the article is increased by 10%.
The new cost becomes,
= 100 + $\frac{10}{100}$ × 100 = Rs. 110
Then, this new cost is again increased by 10%.
The final cost becomes,
= 110 + $\frac{10}{100}$ × 110 = Rs. 121
Therefore, the total increase in cost = 121 – 100 = Rs. 21
Hence, the correct answer is 21.
