      Question

      A merchant made a profit of Rs. 600 on selling a gadget.

      Had the cost price been Rs. 400 lower and the selling price Rs. 900 more, the profit would have been 100%. What was the original selling price?
      A 2900 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 1617 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 3217 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 2024 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,


      Let the original cost price be Rs. x.

      Original selling price = x + 600

      New cost price = x - 400

      New selling price = x + 1500

      So,

      2(x - 400) = x + 1500

      โ‡’ 2x - 800 = x + 1500

      โ‡’ x = 2300

      Original selling price = x + 600 = Rs. 2900
