John bought a vintage car for Rs. 200000. He increases the price of car by 10% every year. He sold the car after three years, but decreased the price of car every year by 10% in calculation by mistake. What is the ratio of price at which he should have sold the car and the price at which he actually sold the car?
Correct Answer: Option B
Actual price of car after 3 years = 200000 × (1 + 10/100) × (1 + 10/100) × (1 + 10/100) = 200000 × 1.331
Calculated price of car after 3 years = 200000 × (1 - 10/100) × (1 - 10/100) × (1 - 10/100) = 200000 × 0.729
∴ ratio of price at which he should have sold the car and the price at which he actually sold the car = 1.331/0.729 = 1331 : 729
