      A ₹46,656 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B ₹41,656 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C ₹46,600 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D ₹36,656 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      If there is successive increase of ‘a%’ and ‘b%’ on a certain quantity/value, then the net percentage increase = a% + b% + [(a × b)/100]%

      So, the net percentage increase = 8% + 8% + [(8 × 8)/100]%

      = 16% + (64/100)% = 16% + 0.64% = 16.64%

      So, the cost of the motorbike after 2 years = 1.1664 × 40000 = ₹46,656
