      A ₹57,245 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 = 7% + 7% + [(7 × 7)/100]%

      = 14% + (49/100)% = 14% + 0.49% = 14.49%

      So, the price of the laptop after 2 years = 1.1449 × 50000 = ₹57,245
