Question

When $\frac{1}{10}$ percent of 5000 is subtracted from $\frac{1}{10}$ of 5000, the difference is

• A. $0$
• B. $50$
• C. $450$
• D. $495$
• E. $500$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $495$

As given in the problem,

$\frac{1}{10}\times 5000=500$

$\frac{1/10}{100}\times 5000=5$

So, after subtraction,

$500-5=495$ (option D)
