If the GDP of the country was INR 5 trillion at the end of 2013, what was it at the beginning of 2015?
Option 1: INR 4.65 trillion
Option 2: INR 5.4 trillion
Option 3: INR 5.15 trillion
Option 4: INR 5.05 trillion
Correct Answer: INR 5.4 trillion
Solution :
At the end of 2013, the nation's GDP was INR 5 trillion.
The GDP of the country at the beginning of 2015 will be equal to the GDP of the country at the end of 2014.
⇒ GDP at the beginning of 2015 = 5 trillion + 8% of 5 trillion
= 5 + $\frac{8}{100}\times$ 5
= 5 + 0.4
= INR 5.4 trillion
Hence, the correct answer is INR 5.4 trillion.
