Sir / Madam,
My questions is,

At the end of year 1998, Shepard bought nine dozen goats. Henceforth, every year he added p% of the goats at the beginning of the year and sold q% of the goats at the end of the year where p>0 and q>0. If Shepard had nine dozen goats at the end of year 2002, after making the sales for that year, which of the following is true?

[1] p = q
[2] p < q
[3] p > q
[4] p = q/2

Advance Thanks,
R.Rengaraj

    answer: the option (iii) p>q will be the right answer
    explanation:
    nine dozen The number of goats will remain nine dozen the same as in the beginning only If the percentage that is added every time is equal to the percentage that is sold,
    then there should be a net decrease. The same will be the case if the percentage added is less than the percentage sold.
    The only way, the number of goats will remain the same is if p > q.
