SSC CHSL Premium Mock 07 – Q051

Question:

If Arun’s salary was decreased by 50% and subsequently increased by 50%, then how much per cent did he lose?

यदि अरुण के वेतन में 50% की कमी की गई और बाद में 50% की वृद्धि की गई, तो उसे कितने प्रतिशत की हानि हुई?

Options:

  • 25%
  • 40%
  • 10%
  • 36%
  • 25%
  • 40%
  • 10%
  • 36%

Correct Answer: a)

Explanation:

Let Arun’s initial salary be ₹100.

After 50% decrease, salary = \(100 – 50 = ₹50\).

After 50% increase on ₹50, salary = \(50 + (50\% \text{ of } 50) = 50 + 25 = ₹75\).

Net loss = \(100 – 75 = 25\%\).

Using formula: Net change = \(x + y + \dfrac{xy}{100} = -50 + 50 – \dfrac{50 \times 50}{100} = -25\%\).

Hence, option (a) is correct.

माना अरुण का प्रारंभिक वेतन ₹100 है।

50% की कमी के बाद वेतन = \(100 – 50 = ₹50\)।

₹50 पर 50% की वृद्धि के बाद वेतन = \(50 + 25 = ₹75\)।

कुल हानि = \(100 – 75 = 25\%\)।

सूत्र से: शुद्ध परिवर्तन = \(-50 + 50 – \dfrac{50 \times 50}{100} = -25\%\) (हानि)।

अतः विकल्प (a) सही उत्तर है।
