    A shopkeeper marked an article β€˜A’ 60% above the

    cost price and sold it for Rs. 600 after giving a certain discount while he sold an article β€˜B’ for Rs. 1800. If cost price of article β€˜B’ is Rs. 1200 and profit percentage earned on selling article β€˜B’ is 25% more than discount percentage given on selling article β€˜A’ then find the cost price of article β€˜A’.
    A Rs. 620 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 635 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 725 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 625 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Rs. 825 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Percentage profit earned on selling article β€˜B’ = [(1800 – 1200)/1200] Γ— 100 = 50% So, percentage discount given on selling article β€˜A’ = 50/1.25 = 40% So, marked price of article β€˜A’ = 600/0.60 = Rs. 1000 Cost price of article β€˜A’ = 1000/1.60 = Rs. 625
