      Question

      A bike loses its value by 15% in the first year and 10% in

      the second year. If the value of the bike after 2 years is Rs. 22,950, what was its price initially?
      A ₹30,000 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,

      Net percentage change = –15% –10% + {[(–15%) × (–10%)]/100}%= –25% + 1.5% = –23.5%

      Let the present price be Rs. ‘x’

      Then, 76.5% of x = 22950

      Or, 0.765 × x = 22950

      Or, x = 22950 / 0.765 = 30000

      So, the original value of the bike = Rs. 30,000
