    C 200% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 150% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let Ravi's original salary be ₹100. After a 50% increase, it becomes ₹150. Again, a 50% increase on ₹150 gives ₹225. So, the total gain = ₹225 − ₹100 = ₹125. Gain percentage = (125/100) × 100 = 125%.
