A man ‘Ramesh’, who owns a plot of land of 100 square yards, increases his plot of land by acquiring 10% more from his neighbor ‘Suresh’, who also owns 100 square yards land. After 2 years, he sells back 10% of the total plot to the neighbor. Which of the following is correct?

Explanation

According to the question— Ramesh → 100 sq. yard Suresh → 100 sq. yard After the acquisition of 10% of land from his neighbour Suresh by 10% → Ramesh → $100 + 100 \times \frac{10}{100} = 110$ sq. yard Suresh → $100 - 100 \times \frac{10}{100} = 90$ sq. yard After 2 years Ramesh sells backs 10% of this total land to his neighbour— Ramesh → $110 - 110 \times \frac{10}{100} = 99$ sq. yard Suresh → $90 + 110 \times \frac{10}{100} = 101$ sq. yard Hence, Suresh land is more than Ramesh land, which is mention in the option (b).
