a) 4% increase
b) 4% decrease
c) 5% decrease
d) No change
Answer »Answer: (b)
Using Rule 4,
If a number is increased by a% and then it is decreased by b%, then resultant change in percentage will be $(a - b - {ab}/100)$% (Negative for decrease, Positive for increase)
Percentage effect
= $(20 - 20 + {20 × -20}/100)%$ = – 4%
Negative sign shows decrease.

c) 15%
d) 16$2/3$%
Answer »Answer: (b)
Using Rule 8,
If the income of a man is A% more than another man, then the income of another man is less in comparison to the 1st man by
$(A/{(100 + A)}×100)$%
If the price of a commodity increases by R%, then reduction in consumption, not to increase the expenditure is given by
$(R/{100 + R} × 100)$%
= $15/{100 + 15} × 100 = 15/115 × 100$
= $300/23 =13{1}/23$%
