Correct answer: A. 10
Explanation
Successive profits multiply: 1.20 × 1.25 × (1 + x/100) = 1.65. Since 1.20 × 1.25 = 1.50, we get 1 + x/100 = 1.65 ÷ 1.50 = 1.10, so x = 10 %.क्रमिक लाभ गुणित होते हैं: 1.20 × 1.25 × (1 + x/100) = 1.65। चूँकि 1.20 × 1.25 = 1.50, अतः 1 + x/100 = 1.65 ÷ 1.50 = 1.10, इसलिए x = 10 %।More Mathematical Reasoning and Aptitude questions
