An investment is made in a business. in the first year, it gains 25%, in the second year, it loses 20%, and in the third year, it gains 10%. What is the overall gain or loss percentage?
एक व्यवसाय में निवेश किया जाता है। पहले वर्ष में उसे 25% का लाभ होता है, दूसरे वर्ष में उसे 20% की हानि होती है, और तीसरे वर्ष में उसे 10% का लाभहोता है। कुल लाभ या हानि प्रतिशत क्या है?
Detailed Solution & Logic
Correct Answer:
10% gain/ 10% लाभ
Solution:
Assume the initial investment is Rs. 100.
After the first year (25% gain),
$100 \times 1.25 = 125$
After the second year (20% loss),
$125 \times 0.80 = 100$
After the third year (10% gain),
$100 \times 1.10 = 110$
Overall percentage change
$= \frac{110-100}{100}\times100 = 10%$
So, the investment shows an overall gain of 10%.
Answer: (A) 10% gain / 10% लाभ
