      Question

      The profit earned when an article is sold for Rs. 1,500

      is the same as the loss incurred on selling it for Rs. 700. Find the selling price of the article if it is sold at a profit of 20%.
      A Rs.1,320 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs.1,500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs.1,300 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs.2,240 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ, Let the cost price of the article be Rs. 'C'. So, 1,500−C=C−700 Or, 2C=2,200 So, C=1,100 Therefore, selling price of the article at a profit of 20% =  1.20×1,100=Rs.1,320
