    C β‚Ή46,600 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D β‚Ή36,656 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Net percentage change = –18% –12% + {[(–18%) Γ— (–12%)]/100}%= –30% + 2.16% = –27.84%

    Let present value be Rs. β€˜x’

    Then, 72.16% of x = 25872

    Or, 0.7216 Γ— x = 25872

    Or, x = 25872 / 0.7216 = 35850

    So, the initial price of the refrigerator = Rs. 35,850
