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
