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.
