      On selling an article for Rs 264 a man loses 4%. In

      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% of CP

      So, 264 = 96/100 × CP

      CP = (264/96) × 100 ​= 275

      Now we want a 12% gain, so: New SP = CP + 12% of CP

      = 275 + (12/100) × 275 = 275 + 33 = 308
