      Question

      A seller initially marked the price of an article 25%

      higher than its cost price. However, to finalize the sale, a 30% discount was offered on this marked price. If this transaction resulted in a loss of Rs. 350 for the seller, what was the original cost price of the article?
      A Rs. 3500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs. 2600 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs. 3000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs. 2400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let cost price of article be Rs. 100x. Selling price of the article = 100x Γ— 1.25 Γ— 0.70 = 87.5x Or, 100x – 87.5x = 350 Or, 12.5x = 350 Or, x = 28 So, cost price of the article = Rs. 2800
