      Ramesh made a profit of 30% on an article, while Suresh

      sold the same article for a 22% profit. If Ramesh’s profit was Rs. 54 more than Suresh’s profit, what was the cost price of the article?
      A Rs.400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs.450 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs.675 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs.520 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ;
      Let the cost price of the article = Rs. ‘x’
      Selling price of the article for Ramesh = Rs. ‘1.30x’
      Selling price of the article for Suresh = Rs. ‘1.22x’
      ATQ;
      (1.30x – 1.22x) = 54
      Or, 0.08x = 54
      So, x = 54 / 0.08 = 675
      Therefore, cost price of the article = Rs. 675
