The weight of Anjali is 60 kg. After three months, her weight increased by 20% and in the next three months, it increased by 25%. What will be the weight (in kg) of Anjali after six months?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 90.

Initial weight = 60 kg

After 20% increase = 60 + 20% of 60 = 60 + 12 = 72 kg

Then 25% increase = 72 + 25% of 72 = 72 + 18 = 90 kg
