1. If 150 is increased by 60% and then decreased by x percent the result is 192. What is x ?

  • A. 20
  • B. 20
  • C. 20
  • D. 20

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Since at first increase by 60% so the number is 150 + 150 × 60/100 = 240

Again, since decrease by x% then we get 240 - 240 × x/100 = 192

= ) 240 - 12x/5 = 192

= ) 12x/5 = 240 - 192

= ) x = 48×5/12

So x = 20
