      Question

      Priya bought a dress at a 50% discount on its MRP and

      claims to sell it at a profit of 25% of the MRP. When Anjali offered her a Rs. 2500 banknote, Priya cheated by giving her Rs. 1500 instead of Rs. 900 as change. Find Priya's overall profit percentage.
      A 16.25% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 56.25% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 25% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 42.5% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 72.5% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Anjali gave Rs. 2500, and Priya had to actually give Rs. 900 as change. Thus, Priya sold it for Rs. 2500 – 900 = Rs. 1600. Let MRP = 100y. Profit at 25% on MRP means SP = 125y. 125y = 1600 y = 12.8 ∴ MRP = Rs. 1280 CP for Priya = 50% of 1280 = Rs. 640. Priya got Rs. (2500 – 1500) = Rs. 1000 from Anjali. Hence, Profit % = ( 1000−640)/640 ×100 = 56.25%
