      Following the sale of apples with a 30% profit, the

      seller made an intriguing discovery. He observed that the marked price of an apple exceeded the combined sum of the cost price and the selling price by 30%. Despite earning a profit of Rs. 2,400 from this sale, could you ascertain the value of the discount granted on each apple?
      A Rs.10,520 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs.12,520 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs.13,500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs.13,520 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ, We can say that the cost price of an apples be Rs. β€˜100a’ So, selling price of an apples = 100a Γ— 1.30 = Rs. β€˜130a’ Marked price of an apples = (130a + 100a) Γ— 1.30 = β€˜299a’ So, discount allowed = 299a – 130a = Rs. β€˜169a’ ATQ; 130a – 100a = 2400 Or, 30a = 2400 So, a = 80 So, discount allowed = 169 Γ— 80 = Rs.13,520
