    Question

    A shopkeeper marked an article P% above its cost price

    and sold it for Rs. 240 after giving a discount of 20%. If the ratio of cost price and selling price of the article is 25:30, respectively, then find the selling price if the article is sold at a profit of (P + 2)%.
    A Rs. 314 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 334 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 324 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 304 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Cost price of the article = (25/30) × 240 = Rs. 200 Marked price of the article = 240/0.8 = Rs. 300 P% = [(300 – 200)/200] × 100 = 50% Or, P = 50 Desired selling price = 200 × 1.52 = Rs. 304
