    Question

    An article has a cost price of Rs. 500 and is marked 80%

    above its cost price. 'A' proposes to sell this article after two successive discounts of 15% and Rs. 30, while 'B' proposes to sell it after a single discount of 35%. What is the difference between the selling prices proposed by 'A' and 'B'?
    A 200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 300 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 100 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 150 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ;
    Marked price of the article = 500 X 1.80 = Rs. 900

    Selling price proposed by 'A' = 900 X 0.85 - 30 = 765 - 30 = Rs. 735

    Selling price proposed by 'B' = 900 X 0.65 = Rs. 585

    So, required difference = 735 - 585 = Rs. 150
