      Question

      A shopkeeper marked an article ‘A’ 20% above the

      cost price and sold it for Rs. 6048 after giving a certain discount while he sold an article ‘B’ for Rs. 1344. If cost price of article ‘B’ is Rs. 960 and profit percentage earned on selling article ‘B’ is 60% more than discount percentage given on selling article ‘A’ then find the cost price of article ‘A’.
      A Rs. 6840 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs. 6780 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs. 6360 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs. 6720 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Percentage profit earned on selling article ‘B’ = [(1344 – 960)/960] × 100 = 40% So, percentage discount given on selling article ‘A’ = 40/1.6 = 25% So, marked price of article ‘A’ = 6048/0.75 = Rs. 8064 Cost price of article ‘A’ = 8064/1.20 = Rs. 6720
