    Anirban gets a 4% raise. A year later, Anirban receives a 2.5% cut in pay and now his salary is Rs.25000. What was his salary to begin with?

    A)  Rs.24654.8                

    B)  Rs.20000

    C)  Rs.13005                   

    D)  Rs.15421

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Let the beginning salary = Rs. x He gets 4% raise, i.e. he gets \[(100+4)%\]of salary = 104% Then, while getting the salary, he receives a \[2.5%\]cut in the pay. i.e. \[(100-2.5%)\] of the raised salary and now he receives Rs. 25000. Therefore 104% of x of \[97.5%\]= 25000 \[\Rightarrow \]            \[x\times \frac{104}{100}\times \frac{975}{100}=25000\] \[\Rightarrow \]            \[x\times \frac{26}{25}\times \frac{975}{1000}=25000\] \[\Rightarrow \]            \[x\times \frac{26}{25}\times \frac{39}{40}=25000\] \[\therefore \]    \[x=\frac{25\times 40\times 25000}{26\times 39}=Rs.\,24654.8\]
