The number of livestock in a farm at the beginning of year 2015 was 100,000. During the year, the number increased by p%. During the next year 2016, there was a famine and the number decreased by q%. A census at the end of year 2016 revealed that the number of livestock in the farm was 100,000. Which of the following expressions is correct?	Select the correct option: A) q > p B) p > q C) p = q D) With the exception of 1 instance, p will be equal to q E) There is no relation between p and 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.
