    Yaa it's 190 Explanation Selling price of 40 chocolate is 960 and it's cost price is 800 that shows that there is 20% profit now we have to increase quantity of chocolate by 15% and profit by 5% so new quantity would be 46 so its cost price would be 920 I.e 20 per chocolate as given and it's selling price would be 1150 because we need to add profit 25% of 920 cost price. Now the difference between new selling price 1150 and old selling price 960 is 190.

    I feel the answer should be 250 
    Initially 40 chocolates = rs 800 Now 46 chocolates = rs 920 
    Initial profit 160/800 i.e. 20% 
    New profit = 25% 
    For 25% profit SP of 46 chocolates should be 1050 as 230/920 = 25 % 
    So I feel the answer sound be 250.
