B Correct answer
Explanation

The ratio of prices is 4:3. If 4 parts = 84, then 1 part = 21. The 2nd variety is 3 parts, so 3 * 21 = 63.

AI explanation

Using the basic property of proportions, we can write the equation 4 divided by 3 equals 84 divided by the unknown price. Multiplying 84 by 3 gives 252, and dividing 252 by 4 yields the second price of Rs. 63.
