A shopkeeper first raises the price of Jewellery by x% then he decreases the new price by x%. After such up down cycle, the price of a Jewellery decreased by Rs. 21025. After a second up down cycle the Jewellery was sold for Rs. 484416. What was the original price of the jewellery.

Answer: Option C

Let the initial price = Rs. 10000p
Price after first increment = 10000p + 100xp
Price after first decrement
= 10000p + 100xp - (100px + px²)
= 10000p - px²
Now, total decrement, px² = 21025 . . . . . (1)
Price after second increment,
= 10000p - px² + 100xp - $$\frac{\text{p}{\text{x}}^3}{100}$$
Price after second increment,
= 10000p - p² + 100xp - $$\frac{{\text{p}}^3}{100}$$ - 100xp + $$\frac{\text{p}{\text{x}}^3}{100}$$ - px² + $$\frac{\text{p}{\text{x}}^4}{10000}$$
= 10000p - 2px² + $$\frac{\text{p}{\text{x}}^2}{10000}$$
= 484416 . . . . . . (2)
On solving equation (1) and (2), We get
x = 20
Substituting back we get,
p = 5,25,625
