Dear abhisheknandy08,
My friend, I would be happy to help, but I believe something is amiss about how you posted your question. You may have to write out the question in plaintext, or you can make a picture file of the problem in mathematical notation. Alternatively, do you have a link to somewhere else where this problem is posted?
My friend, I am also going to take this opportunity to admonish you. If you are truly ambitious, truly passionate about achieving success on the GMAT, then you will need to take responsibility for asking excellent questions. Students are often naive, believing that they can simply put out questions of any quality, and it is the job of the experts to make education happen. In fact, education is something you do to yourself, by yourself, and for yourself, and we experts can only provide the resources to support you. A bit part of taking responsibility is asking excellent questions. Here's a blog about the topic:

Excellent is a habit of mind. If you would like to achieve excellence on the GMAT, start by striving for excellence in every single thing you so. Every time you post here, it must be of the highest quality. What if someone reading this today will make a business decisions about you a decade from now? Always put your best foot forward. Always make sure that anything that represents you in a public space is of the absolute highest quality.
Does all this make sense?
Mike

HI abhisheknandy08,
I agree with Mike that what you're asking about is not perfectly clear. After re-reading it though, here's what I *think* you're asking...
You want to know the difference between the phrases "increase by _______" and "increase to _________", in the context of how they might appear in a Quant question.
Here are some basic examples:
"The price of the car was INCREASED BY $800....."
X = the original price of the car
X + 800 = the new price of the car
"The price of the car was INCREASED TO $10,000...."
X = the original price of the car
$10,000 = the new price of the car
$10,000 - X = the actual increase in price
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
Rich
