Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe Correct answer is Option 2.
Key Points Let's calculate the land areas at each step:
Initially, Ramesh owns 100 square yards.
After acquiring 10% more from Suresh, Ramesh's land increases to
100+10/100×100= 110 square yards.
After 2 years, Ramesh sells back 10% of the total plot. So, he sells back
10%×110=11 square yards.
After selling back, Ramesh's land will be 110−11=99 square yards.
Suresh's land remains unchanged at 100 square yards.
Now, comparing the land areas:
Ramesh: 99 square yards
Suresh: 100 square yards
So, Suresh's land is more than Ramesh's land.
The correct option is:
Suresh’s land is more than Ramesh
