      An object is sold at a 15% gain and the selling price

      becomes Rs. 180 more than when it's sold at a 35% loss. Find the cost price of the object.
      A 360 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 380 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 240 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 420 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let the cost price of the object = Rs. 100x

      According to the question,

      (100x × 1.15) – (100x × 0.65) = 180

      ⇒ 115x – 65x = 180

      ⇒ 50x = 180

      ⇒ x = 180 ÷ 50 = 3.6

      ∴ Cost price = 100x = 3.6 × 100 = Rs. 360
