Rs197

Rs207

Rs180

To determine the increased price of the cap, we start by finding the original price:

- Let the original price of the cap be Rs X.

- The price is increased by 15%, and this results in a Rs 27 increase.

- Therefore, 15% of X = Rs 27.

Solving for X:

- (15/100) * X = 27

- X = (27 * 100) / 15

- X = 180

Now we calculate the new price:

- Increased price = Original price + Increase

- Increased price = Rs 180 + Rs 27 = Rs 207

Option 3: Rs 207 is the correct answer.
