Question : A number is increased by $x$% to get back to the original number. It is to be reduced by:
Option 1: $x$%
Option 2: $\frac{100x}{100+x}$%
Option 3: $\frac{10x}{100+x}$%
Option 4: $\frac{x}{100+x}$%
Correct Answer: $\frac{100x}{100+x}$%
Solution : Let the original number be = 100 It is increased by $x$%, Now, the new number = $(100 + x)$ It is to be reduced from $(100 + x)$ to 100. Thus, reduction = $(100 + x) - 100 = x$ So, the reduction percentage $=\frac{x}{100+x} × 100=\frac{100x}{100+x}$% Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{100x}{100+x}$%.
