      Question

      The production of a company has ups and downs every

      year. The production increases by 12% for one year and, in the next year, it decreases by 8%. This sequel continues. If counting is started from the year 2015, then what will the effect on the production of the company be in the year 2019? (Rounded up to 2 decimal places.)  
      A 4.15% Decrease Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 6.17% Decrease Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 5.16% Increase Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 6.17% Increase Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Calculation:     - Let initial production (2015) = 100.     - 2016-2019 cycle:       - 2016: +12% → 112       - 2017: -8% → 103.04       - 2018: +12% → 115.4048       - 2019: -8% → 106.1724     - Net effect: (106.1724 - 100)/100 × 100 ≈ 6.17% increase.
