    Explanation:

    - Initial Petrol Price: ?82 per litre.

    - Mileage: The car covers 15 km with 1 litre of petrol.

    - Distance Covered Monthly: 3045 km.

    - Petrol Consumption: For 3045 km, the car uses 3045/15 = 203 litres of petrol per month.

    - Old Petrol Cost: 203 litres × ?82/litre = ?16,646.

    - Price Increase: Petrol price increased by 5%.

    - New Petrol Price: ?82 + (5% of ?82) = ?82 + ?4.10 = ?86.10 per litre.

    - New Petrol Cost: 203 litres × ?86.10/litre = ?17,478.30.

    - Increase in Monthly Expenditure: ?17,478.30 - ?16,646 = ?832.30.

    ? Correct Option: Option 1: 832
