Solution

The correct option is C 61%
Power usage of the robot from base to A = 72 x 5%

Power usage of the robot from A to B
= 72 x 43%

Power usage of the robot from B to base = 72 x 9%

Recharge rate = 223 %

Final power status

= 100 + (-72 x 5) + 223 + (-72 x 43) + 223 + (-72 x 9)

= 100 + (-352) + 223 + (-286) + 223+ (-632)

= 100 + {(-352) + (-632)} + {223 + (-286) +223} [by associative property]

= 100 - (982) + (443 - 286)

= 100 - 49 + 606

= 100 + 10 - 49 [by commutative property]

= 61

Hence, the power status of the robot after returning to base is 61%.
