Correct Answer: 16


Solution : The initial value of the stock is Rs. $25$ per share.
The final value of the stock is Rs. $21$ per share.
Decrease in percentage = $\frac{\text{Initial value –Final value}}{\text{Initial value}}\times100$
= $\frac{25 –21}{ 25}×100$
= $\frac{400}{ 25}$
= 16%
Hence, the correct answer is 16.
