    Question

    A shopkeeper sold an article at a discount of 14%. If he

    had given a discount of 9% in place of 14%, then he would have earned Rs. 108 more. If the cost price of the article is 20% less than its marked price, then find the cost price of the article.
    A Rs 1368 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs 1728 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs 1680 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs 1360 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the marked price of the article is Rs. ‘x’. According to the question; 0.91x – 0.86x = 108 Or, 0.05x = 108 Or, x = 108/0.05 = 2160 Cost price of the article = (80/100) × 2160 = Rs. 1728
