Question

    The price of a product was increased by 25% and then

    decreased by 20%. If the initial price of the product was ₹400, what is the final price of the product?
    A ₹380 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B ₹400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C ₹420 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D ₹430 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E ₹450 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Initial price = ₹400. Price after a 25% increase = 400 × (1 + 25/100) = 400 × 1.25 = ₹500. Price after a 20% decrease = 500 × (1 - 20/100) = 500 × 0.80 = ₹400. Thus, the final price is ₹400.
