Each call is charge at Rs. 1.4 when the number of calls exceed 200 per month and it charges Rs. 1.6 when the number of calls exceeds 400 per month and so on.

Option A):
16%
Option B):
25%
Option C):
18.5%
Option D):
28%

Correct Answer is Option D):
28%

Explanation:
Charge per call in February = 350/150 = 7/3 = 2.33
Charge per call in March = [350+(50*1.4)]/250 = 420/250 = 42/25 = 1.68
% Cheaper call rate in March = [(2.33-1.68)/2.33]*100 = 28%.
