Vedclass · Answer

(C) Let the initial salary of Aditya be $100 	ext{ Rs}$.After an increase of $40 \%$,the new salary becomes $100 + (40 \% 	ext{ of } 100) = 140 	ext{ Rs}$.Now,this salary is decreased by $25 \%$. The decrease amount is $25 \% 	ext{ of } 140 = 0.25 	imes 140 = 35 	ext{ Rs}$.The final salary after the decrease is $140 - 35 = 105 	ext{ Rs}$.The net effect on the salary is $105 - 100 = 5 	ext{ Rs}$.Since the final value is greater than the initial value,there is a $5 \% 	ext{ increase}$.

Aditya's salary was increased by $40 \%$ and then decreased by $25 \%$. Find the net effect on Aditya's salary.
