Question

From a picnic arranged for 10 persons, 2 opted out. The expenses had to be equally shared by them. What is the percentage increase in the expenses of each person after the two left?

A.

15%

B.

25%

C.

20%

D.

12%

Correct option is B


Total no of person = 10
Let the total expenses = x
Then total expanses = x/10
The total people opted out = 2
Then expense on each person = x/8
Therefore, required percentage = ( x/8- x/10 )/(x/10)×100
=((5x-4x)/40 )/(x/10)×100
=(x/40 )/(x/10)×100=25%
