A shepherd had n goats in the year 2000. In 2001 the no. of goats increased by 40%. In 2002 the no. of goats declined to 70%. In 2003 the no. of goats grew up 30%. In 2004, he sold 10% goats and then he had only 34,398 goats. The percentage increase of the no. of goats in this duration was :

a) 16.66%
b) 14.66%
c) 11.33%
d) 20%

Answer: b
Explanation: There is no need of the number of goats given i.e. 34,398.
Initially, let there be 100 goats.
100 == 40% ↑==> 140 == 30%↓(declined to 70%) ==> 98 == 30%↑ ==> 127.4 == 10%↓(sold) ==> 114.66
% increase = 14.66% [As 100 becomes 114.66]
