Correct Answer: 56.25%
Solution : Let the original value be 100 units. Value reduced = 36 units So, reduced value = 100 – 36 = 64 units Percentage increase needed to restore the original value = $\frac{\text{Increase in price} × 100}{\text{Reduced value}}$% = $\frac{36×100}{64}$ = 56.25% Hence, the correct answer is 56.25%.
