A number if reduced by 25% becomes 225. By what percent should it be increased so that it becomes 375 ?

A. 25%

B. 30%

C. 35%

D. 75%

Answer: Option A

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Let the number = x
According to the question,
$$\frac{x × (100 - 25)}{100}$$   = 225
x = $$\frac{225 × 100}{75}$$
x = 300
Required percentage :
= $$\frac{(375 - 300)}{300}$$   × 100
= 25%
