Question

A property is bought for Rs.75450. It is expected that the value of the property will appreciate 25% in two years. The value of the property at the end of two years will be

• A. Rs .94312.50
• B. Rs. 94322.50
• C. Rs. 93312.50
• D. Rs. 94302.50

Hint:

To easily find \(125\%\) of any number, calculate the number itself plus one-quarter of its value:
\(75450 + (75450 \div 4) = 75450 + 18862.5 = 94312.5\).
This mental math approach saves significant time during exams.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Note the given values.
Purchase price = Rs. 75,450 and total appreciation = 25% over 2 years.
Step 2: Calculate the appreciation amount.
Appreciation = 25% of 75,450 = (25/100) x 75,450 = Rs. 18,862.50.
Step 3: Find the value after 2 years.
Value = 75,450 + 18,862.50 = Rs. 94,312.50.
\[ \boxed{94312.50} \]
