Question

Mohan gets 12% increase in his sale amount in the first year and 15% increase in the second year, with that his present sale is Rs. 1,28,800, what was his sale two years ago?

A.

Rs.1,75,000

B.

Rs.1,00,000

C.

Rs. 1,50,000

D.

Rs. 1,25,000

Correct option is B

Given:
Present Sale = ₹1,28,800
First Year Increase = 12%
Second Year Increase = 15%

Formula Used:
Sale two years ago = Present Sale ÷ (1 + Second Year Increase%) ÷ (1 + First Year Increase%)

Solution:
Sale two years ago = ₹1,28,800 ÷ 1.15 ÷ 1.12 

1,28,800×11.15×11.12₹1,28,800 \times \frac{1}{ 1.15} \times \frac{1}{ 1.12}  ​

1,28,800×11.288₹1,28,800 \times \frac{1}{1.288}​​
= ₹1,00,000
