      selling price Rs. 72 less than when sold at a 12% profit. If the bucket’s marked price is 60% higher than its cost price and it is sold with a Rs. 90 discount, what will its selling price be?
      A Rs.400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs.270 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs.500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs.220 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the cost price of the Plastic bucket = Rs. ‘100y’ ATQ, 100y × 1.12 – 100y × 0.8 = 72 Or, 32y = 72 So, y = 72 ÷ 32 = 2.25 So, cost price of the bucket = 2.25 × 100 = Rs. 225 So, selling price of the bucket = 225 × 1.6 – 90 = Rs. 270
