- The original value P is given as 200.

- First, P is increased by 15%.

- 15% of 200 is calculated as \(0.15 \times 200 = 30\).

- Adding this increase, the new value becomes \(200 + 30 = 230\).

- Next, this new value is increased by 20%.

- 20% of 230 is calculated as \(0.20 \times 230 = 46\).

- Adding this increase, the final value Q becomes \(230 + 46 = 276\).

- Therefore, the correct value of Q is 276.

So, the correct option is:

Option 3: 276
