Suppose that the original price of the car = Rs. x
Then new price of the car
=> (x) + (x ×25/100) = Rs. 5x/4
To restore the original price, the new price must be decreased by
5x/4 ? x = x/4
So required percentage =(x/4)/(5x/4) × 100%
= 20%
Correct Answer: 430
Explanation:
Let the total number of valid votes be 'V'.
70% of V = 70/100 x V = 7V/10
Number of votes secured by the other candidate = V - 7V/100 = 3V/10
Given, 7V/10 - 3V/10 = 172 => 4V/10 = 172
=> 4V = 1720 => V = 430.

=> 26x = 10400
=> x = 400.
Hence, total pages in the book are 400.
