The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

From the graph, August's average Sensex reading is 9734.22.

A 20% increase over this value means the new reading is 120% of 9734.22.

\(9734.22 \times \dfrac{120}{100} = 9734.22 \times 1.20 = 11681.064\).

So the expected reading works out to 11681.064, which is option (d).
