A. as
B. than
C. that
D. of what
E. at which
Example :
your machine costs three times
that of my machine.
your drug is sold for three times that of my other products. (here "the price per milligram" is the extra information that does not harm the logic of the sentence.)
The only thing I am bothered about is that there is no OF after THAT in the OA.
According to me the sentence should have been :
A new hair-growing drug is being sold for three times the price, per milligram,
that of the drug's maker charges for another product with the same active ingredient.
Only "that" cannot make logic or compare the products in the sentence. It should have been "that of"
Now, "of what" is totally correct that I feel although "that of" is the best.
But since we don't have "that of'. I think "of what" seems good.
Example :
Your store charges three times of what my store charges for this machine.
Government's revenue is three times of what State revenue is.
Though "Government's revenue is three times
that of the State revenue" is the best
What is the source of this question?
If the options are correct. I will go with "of what"
