Question:

A coat is priced at ₹6000. In the sale, its price is reduced by 25%. After the sale, its price will be increased by 25% of the reduced price. What will be the price of the coat (in ₹) after the sale?

Options:

5265 

5625

6125

6000

Correct Answer:

5625

Explanation:

The price of a coat = 6000

According to the question,

Price is reduced by 25% and then it is increased by 25%

So the final price = 6000 × \(\frac{75}{100}\) × \(\frac{125}{100}\) = 5625
