Answer»

Let the price of a house be Rs. 100

Given,

Price of a house CAME down by 20% during RECESSION,

Price of a house during recession

= 100 - 100 × (20/100)

= 80

Price of a house during recession is Rs. 80

Given,

Price increased by 25%.

Price of a house after INCREMENT

= 80 + 80 × (25/100)

= 80 + 20

= 100

∴ Price after increment is Rs. 100 which is equal to ORIGINAL price of a house.
