    Question

    A shopkeeper marked an article P% above its cost price

    and sold it for Rs. 1620 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 + 10)%.
    A Rs. 2100 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 2120 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 2160 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 2060 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Cost price of the article = (25/30) × 1620 = Rs. 1350 Marked price of the article = 1620/0.8 = Rs. 2025 P% = [(2025 – 1350)/1350] × 100 = 50% Or, P = 50 Desired selling price = 1350 × 1.6 = Rs. 2160
