Given:

Diameter of First Pizza = 8 cm; Radius = 4 cm

Price = Rs 240.

Diameter of Second Pizza = 12 cm; Radius = 6 cm 

Price = Rs 360.

Concept:

The price is proportional to the size (i.e., the area), we should find the cost per square cm.

Calculation:

Area of the first pizza = π × (4)2 = 16π cm2.

Price per cm2 for the first  pizza = 240/16π ≈ Rs 4.77/cm2

Area of the second pizza = π × (6)2 = 36π cm2.

The expected price for the second pizza = 4.77 × 36π ≈ Rs 540.

The discount on the second pizza is Rs 540 - Rs 360 = Rs 180.

∴ The correct answer is Rs 180.
