Given:

Old price of Petrol = Rs 80

New price of petrol = Rs 100

Formula Used:

Percentage increase in price = (Difference/Old price) × 100

Calculation:

Difference = New price - Old price

Difference = 100 - 80 = 20

Percentage increase in price = (20/80) × 100

⇒ Percentage increase in price = 0.25 × 100

⇒ Percentage increase in price = 25%

∴ The correct answer is Option 2).
