      An article is sold for ₹ 1725 at 15% profit. If it is

      sold at 15% loss, then what will be the selling price?
      A ₹1025 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B ₹1275 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C ₹1325 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D ₹1475 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Selling price = Rs. 1725, Profit = 15% ⇒ Selling price = cost price × (100 + profit)% ⇒ 1725 = cost price × 115% ⇒ Cost price = 1500 ⇒ If loss = 15% ⇒ Selling price = cost price × (100 – loss)% ⇒ Selling price = 1500 × 85% ⇒ Selling price = Rs. 1275 ∴ The selling price will be Rs. 1275.
