Read the following scenario and answer the THREE questions that follow.
Comprehension:
Dileep Dosan sells dosas in front of an upscale hospital at a city in Punjab. He only sells two varieties of dosas: plain for ₹25 and masala for ₹40.
His dosa stall is popular amongst the hospital staff members, who mostly hail from South India and form his core clientele. They frequently visit his stall during office hours as they find his dosas to be reasonably priced. Though the hospital staff members can visit the upscale food court on the top floor of the hospital, they prefer his stall for breakfast and lunch, and even for occasional evening snacks. His daily sale volume varies between 300 and 400 dosas, in which the demand for masala dosas is around 50-60%.
Dileep shifts his stall to the hospital food court. He prices his plain dosa at ₹40 and masala dosa at ₹60. However, two months on, he is serving only about 150 dosas per day. The clientele is mostly the same hospital staff members, who had been his customers before he moved to the food court.
Which of the following actions will BEST help Dileep in increasing his sales?
Giving a discount to only hospital staff is unfair to the other customers. Therefore, options A, B and E are incorrect.
Option C is incorrect as the increasing prices of all food items discourage staff from visiting the stall, and adding shezwan dosa will not help.
Option D is the correct answer as the prices for best-sellers remain the same, and adding more varieties at higher prices will help.
Answer is option D.
