The positive number x is q percent greater than the positive number b, which is p percent less than x itself. If a is increased by p percent, and the result is then decreased by q percent to produce a positive number c, which of the following could be true?
I. c > x
II. c = x
III. c < x  Choose the correct choice.
A) I only B) II only C) III only D) I and II only E) II and III only
Let q = 10% then p = 100/11 %   let b = 100 then x = 110   after increasing x by p and decreasing by q we get c= 108   therefore c&lt;x   III only it is answer
<result>C</result>
