Options- A. 30%
- B. 40%
- C. 44%
- D. 48% Also asked in: Bank Exams
Correct Answer: 44%
Explanation:
Let initial rent be rs 10
And initial rooms be 10
So initial collection = 10*10 = Rs 100
Now new rent = 10 + 20% of 10 = 12
New no of rooms = 10 + 20% of 10 = 12
So new collection = 12*12 = 144
% change in collection = (144-100)/100*100 = 44%
