Question

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. Let the sale two years ago be *P*.

2. The sale increased by 6\% in the first year, so after first year sale = *P* × (1 + 6/100) = *P* × 1.06.

3. The sale increased by 20\% in the second year, so after second year sale = previous year sale × (1 + 20/100) = *P* × 1.06 × 1.20 = *P* × 1.272.

4. Given present sale = ₹254400, so:
   $$254400 = P 	imes 1.272$$

5. Solving for *P*:
   $$P = \frac{254400}{1.272} = 200000$$

**Answer:** ₹200000
