      cost price and sold it for Rs. 10080 after giving a certain discount while he sold an article β€˜B’ for Rs. 1344. If cost price of article β€˜B’ is Rs. 960 and profit percentage earned on selling article β€˜B’ is 60% more than discount percentage given on selling article β€˜A’ then find the cost price of article β€˜A’.
      A Rs. 12500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Percentage profit earned on selling article β€˜B’ = [(1344 – 960)/960] Γ— 100 = 40% So, percentage discount given on selling article β€˜A’ = 40/1.6 = 25% So, marked price of article β€˜A’ = 10080/0.75 = Rs. 13440 Cost price of article β€˜A’ = 13440/1.12 = Rs. 12000
