      Question

      Anil sold 12 cameras at a loss of 10%. If he had sold

      all the cameras for Rs. 1440 more, his overall profit would have been 20%. What is the cost price of 8 cameras?
      A Rs. 4800 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs. 4000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs. 3200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs. 6400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E Rs. 5000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

        Let the cost price of each camera be Rs. c.   Initial selling price of all cameras = 0.9 × 12 × c = Rs. 10.8c   According to the question, 10.8c + 1440 = 1.2 × 12c Or, 14.4c - 10.8c = 1440 Or, 3.6c = 1440 Or, c = 400 Therefore, the cost price of 8 cameras = 8 × c = Rs. 3200
