Solution
Cost of the TV = P \[\left( 1 + \frac{R}{100} \right)\left( 1 - \frac{R}{100} \right)\]
\[ \Rightarrow 17, 000\left( 1 + \frac{5}{100} \right)\left( 1 - \frac{4}{100} \right)\]
\[ = 17, 000\left( 1 . 05 \right)\left( 0 . 96 \right)\]
\[ = 17, 136\]
Thus, the cost the TV in 2001 was Rs 17, 136.
