Detailed Solution & Logic
Correct Answer:
31.6
Given:
Price decreases by $x%$ and then increases by $x%$
Final price = 10% less ⇒ 90% of original
Using formula:
Net effect $= 1 - \frac{x^2}{10000}$
So,
$1 - \frac{x^2}{10000} = 0.9$
$ \frac{x^2}{10000} = 0.1$
$x^2 = 1000$
$x \approx 31.6$
Correct Answer: 31.6 ✅
