(A) increased by 5 %
(B) decreased by 13%
(C) decreased by 20%
(D) decreased by 11%


Answer: (D)

Explanation:

Suppose original GDP was x then its international
value is x/50. 

Now GDP becomes 107*x/100 and its international 
value becomes (107x/100)/60= 107x/6000.

The value has decreased by (x/50)-(107x/6000).  
Percentage approx 10.8% = 11%
