    order to gain 12%, find the selling price of the article.
    A Rs 300 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs 310 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs 295 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs 308 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Selling Price (SP) = Rs 264, Loss = 4%

    When there is a loss of 4%, it means: SP = 96%┬аof┬аCP

    So, 264 = 96/100 ├Ч CP

    CP = (264/96) ├Ч 100 тАЛ= 275

    Now we want a 12% gain, so: New┬аSP = CP + 12%┬аof┬аCP

    = 275 + (12/100) ├Ч 275 = 275 + 33 = 308
