    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. 1,25,000

    B.

    Rs. 1,50,000

    C.

    Rs. 1,75,000

    D.

    Rs. 1,00,000

    Correct option is D

    Given:
    Increase in first year = 12%
    Increase in second year = 15%
    Present sale = 1,28,800
    Solution:
    Let the amount of sale before two years ago be x
    According to the question
    Amount after 1st year = x × 112100\frac{112}{100}

    Amount after 2nd year = x × 112100×115100\frac{112}{100} × \frac{115}{100}​​
    As per question

    x × 112100×115100\frac{112}{100} × \frac{115}{100} = 128800 

    x = 128800×100112×100115128800\times \frac{100}{112}\times\frac{100}{115} ​​

    x = 1,00,000

    Two years before his sale was Rs. 1,00,000.
