Q:

In a hostel the rent per room is increased by 20%. If number of rooms in the hostel is also increased by 20% and the hostel is always full, then what is the percentage change in the total collection at the cash counter?

A) 30% B) 40%
C) 44% D) 48%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 44%

Explanation:
Let initial rent be rs 10
And initial rooms be 10
So initial collection = 10*10 = Rs 100
Now new rent = 10 + 20% of 10 = 12
New no of rooms = 10 + 20% of 10 = 12
So new collection = 12*12 = 144
% change in collection = (144-100)/100*100 = 44%
