The number of livestock in a farm at the beginning of year 2000 was 140,000. During the year, the number increased by p%. During the next year 2001, there was a famine and the number decreased by q%. A census at the end of year 2001 revealed that the number of livestock in the farm was 140,000. Which of the following expressions is correct?	Choose the correct choice from the following.
A) There is no relation between p and q	B) q > p	C) p = q	D) With the exception of 1 instance, p will be equal to q	E) p > q
Number plugging in will be best strategy for this question.   Let p = 5%,   Per the question 100000(1.05)(1-q/100) = 100000 ---&gt; q = 4.7%. Thus p &gt; q and hence p &gt; q is the correct answer.
