The price of an article is increased by 36%. After this increase, it is decreased by 30%. If the final price of the article is ₹132 less than the original price, find the original price of the article.
₹2,750
If the original price is P, after a 36% increase the price becomes 1.36P, and after a further 30% decrease, the price becomes 1.36P x 0.70 = 0.952P.
The net change from the original price is P - 0.952P = 0.048P, which represents an overall decrease.
Given that this decrease equals ₹132: 0.048P = 132, so P = 132/0.048 = ₹2,750.
Hence, the correct answer is ₹2,750.
