Correct Answer: 135


Solution : Increase = $11 \frac{1}{9}$% and 10%
Net increase = $\frac{100}{9} + 10 + \frac{100}{9}×\frac{10}{100}$ = $\frac{200}{9}$%
R = 165
So, Z + $\frac{200}{9}$% of Z = 165
⇒ $\frac{11}{9}$ × Z = 165
⇒ Z = $\frac{165×9}{11}$ = 15 × 9 = 135
Hence, the correct answer is 135.
