Question

Tangible assets of a company are increased from Rs. 4,00,000 to Rs. 5,00,000. What is the percentage of change?

• A. 20%
• B. 25%
• C. 33$\dfrac{1}{3}$%
• D. 50%

Hint:

Always calculate % change on the original value, not the new value.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Find increase.
\[ \text{Increase} = 5,00,000 - 4,00,000 = 1,00,000 \]
Step 2: Calculate percentage change.
\[ %\;Change = \frac{\text{Increase}}{\text{Original value}} \times 100 \] \[ = \frac{1,00,000}{4,00,000} \times 100 = 25% \]
Step 3: Conclude.
Therefore, the percentage change is 25%.
Final Answer: \[ \boxed{25%} \]
