      The salary of an employee is increased by 6% every year.

      If the present salary is ₹60,000 per month, what will be the salary after 2 years?
      A ₹67,416 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 = 6% + 6% + [(6 × 6)/100]%

      = 12% + (36/100)% = 12% + 0.36% = 12.36%

      So, the salary after 2 years = 1.1236 × 60000 = ₹67,416
