      Question

      A sold an article at 50% profit. If the profit earned

      had been 250% more, then the profit percentage would have been numerically equal to CP. Find the actual cost price of the article.
      A Rs. 155 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs. 165 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs. 185 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs. 175 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the cost price of the article be Rs. 100x Therefore, selling price of article = Rs. 150x Therefore, profit earned = 150x – 100x = Rs. 50x New profit = 3.5 Γ— 50x = Rs. 175x According to the question, (175x/100x) Γ— 100 = 100x Or, x = 1.75 Therefore, actual cost price = 100x = Rs. 175
