B) 9.09%
C) 14%
D) 22.73%
E) It cannot be determined from the information given.
This Q is all about taking the correct BASE for taking %s..   the very first step requires taking some numbers for each..   ONE should be 100...   it is easy to take 50 and 100 here..   but the BASE is 100 here, so the salary can be 100 and 150..   100 increases 10% =110..   150 decreases 10%=135..   so the increase is 25..   again the BASE is 110, so answer 25/110 * 100= 22.73% D   without calculations,   answer cannot be equal to or greater than 25, as 25 is on 110..   so 22.73% is the only one left
