      Question

      A shopkeeper marked an article P% above its cost price

      and sold it for Rs. 1080 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 + 20)%.
      A Rs. 1530 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs. 1500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs. 1230 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs. 1400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Cost price of the article = (25/30) Γ— 1080 = Rs. 900 Marked price of the article = 1080/0.8 = Rs. 1350 P% = [(1350 – 900)/900] Γ— 100 = 50% Or, P = 50 Desired selling price = 900 Γ— 1.7 = Rs. 1530
