    cost price and sold it for Rs. 1008 after giving a certain discount while he sold an article β€˜B’ for Rs. 2184. If cost price of article β€˜B’ is Rs. 1560 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. 840 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 800 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 960 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 830 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Rs. 845 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Percentage profit earned on selling article β€˜B’ = [(2184 – 1560)/1560] Γ— 100 = 40% So, percentage discount given on selling article β€˜A’ = 40/1.60 = 25% So, marked price of article β€˜A’ = 1008/0.75 = Rs. 1344 Cost price of article β€˜A’ = 1344/1.40 = Rs. 960
