C₹48,560

D₹54,050

Answer:

A. ₹48,000

Read Explanation:

Let the original price at the beginning of 2016 be ₹x.

Increase of 5% in 2016

Decrease of 5% in 2017

Final price=1.05x×0.95=0.9975x\text{Final price} = 1.05x \times 0.95 = 0.9975x

Given:
0.9975x=478800.9975x = 47880
x=478800.9975=48000x = \frac{47880}{0.9975} = 48000
Price at the beginning of 2016 = ₹48,000
