Given:

Initial salary reduction = 10%

Then increased by = 10%

Formula used:

Net change = -x% + x% - (x × x) ÷ 100

Where x = same percentage increase and decrease

Calculation:

⇒ Net change = -10 + 10 - (10 × 10) ÷ 100

⇒ Net change = 0 - 100 ÷ 100

⇒ Net change = -1%

∴ Ramesh's ultimate loss is 1%.
