Question

• A. Rs. 792
• B. Rs. 804
• C. Rs. 794
• D. Rs. 798

Answer 1

The correct option is A Rs. 792

Original price of the picture was Rs. 825
When the price $20\%$ increased the price becomes
$=Rs.825+20\%ofRs.825$
$=Rs.825+\frac{20}{100}xRs.825$
$=Rs.990$
Later on when $20\%$ reduced, the price becomes
$=Rs.990-\frac{20}{100}ofRs.990$
$=Rs.990-Rs.198=Rs.792$
$\therefore$ The price of the picture becomes $=Rs.792$.
