Suggested: Upcoming government exams
Correct Answer: 22%
Solution : Given: Let the price of the product be 100.
When the price is decreased by 35%, it becomes 100 – 35% of 100 = 100 – 35 = 65 Then, it is increased by 20%. It becomes 65 + 20% of 65 = 65 + 13 = 78 Net change in the price of the product = {(Original price – Changed price) ÷ Original price} × 100 = {(100 – 78) ÷ 100} × 100 = {22 ÷ 100} × 100 = 22
So, the net change in the price is 22%. Hence, the third option is correct.
