Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A. 10%

Explanation

Take the original price as ₹100. After a 20% rise it becomes 100 × 1.20 = ₹120; after a 25% fall it becomes 120 × 0.75 = ₹90. The net change is 90 − 100 = −10, i.e. a net decrease of 10%.मूल कीमत ₹100 मानिए। 20% वृद्धि के बाद = 100 × 1.20 = ₹120; फिर 25% कमी के बाद = 120 × 0.75 = ₹90। शुद्ध परिवर्तन = 90 − 100 = −10, अर्थात् 10% की शुद्ध कमी।
