      Question

      An article's cost price is one-third of its marked

      price. If the profit earned from selling the article is 40%, what is the ratio of profit to the discount offered on the sale of the article?
      A 4:1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 2:3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 3:2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 1:4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the cost price of the article be Rs. '100x' So, marked price of the article = 100x X 3 = Rs. '300x' And, selling price of the article = 100x X 1.4 = Rs. '140x' Profit earned = 140x - 100x = Rs. '40x' So, discount allowed = 300x - 140x = Rs. '160x' So, required ratio = 40x:160x = 1:4
