    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let number of chart papers be ‘x’ Profit = 134 Selling price = 10 x Cost price = SP – Profit = 12 x – 134 Similarly, selling price = 8x Loss = 46 Cost price = SP + loss = 8x + 46 Equating two cost prices 12x – 134 = 8x + 46 12x – 8x = 46 + 134 4x = 180 x = 45 Total cost price = 8 × 45+ 46= Rs. 406 In order to make a profit of 17%, selling price = 406 + (17% of 406) = 406 + 69.02 = Rs. 475.02
