      Question

      A shopkeeper marked an article β€˜A’ 20% above the

      cost price and sold it for Rs. 1008 after giving a certain discount while he sold an article β€˜B’ for Rs. 2520. If cost price of article β€˜B’ is Rs. 1800 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. 1200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs. 1120 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs. 1250 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs. 1270 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E Rs. 1280 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Percentage profit earned on selling article β€˜B’ = [(2520 – 1800)/1800] 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’ = 1344/1.20 = Rs. 1120
