The production of a Company has ups and downs every year. The'production increases for two consecutive years consistently by 15% and in the third year it decreases by 10%. Again in the next two years it increases by 15% each year and decreases by 10% in the third year. If we start counting from the year 1994 approximately what will be the effect on production of the Company in 1998 ?

a. 37% increase
b. 42% increase
c. 52% increase
d. 32% increase
e. 17% increase

• 
  Let the production in 1998 be 100 units, Then,
  
  
  ∴ Increase in production = (136.88 - 100) % = 36.88% = 37%

• Let the production in 1998 be 100 units, Then,
  
  100*115/100*115/100*115/100*90/100 =136.88
  
  ∴ Increase in production = (136.88 - 100) % = 36.88% = 37%

• Let the production in 1994 be 100,then
  
  Production In 1998=100*(115/100)*(115/100)*(90/100)*(115/100)
  
  then =100*(23/20)*(23/20)*(9/10)*(23/20) =136.88
  
  production=136.88-100=36.88%=~37%

• Let the production in 1994 is 100 units ,then
  production upto 1998 becomes 100*115/100*115/100*90/100*115/100=136.88
  then increase in the production =136.88-100=37
  so answer is 37%
