Question

    Arjun purchased a mobile phone and marked its price 75%

    higher than the cost price. He sold it after giving a 20% discount for Rs. 3600. What would be the selling price if a 10% discount was given instead?
    A Rs.4042.65 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs.5400.22 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.6056.65 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.7244.50 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let, cost price of the mobile phone be Rs. 100x

    Marked price = 1.75 × 100x = Rs. 175x

    Selling price after discount = 0.80 × 175x = Rs. 140x

    According to the question:

    140x = 3600

    So, x = 25.71

    Desired selling price = 0.90 × 1.75 × 2571 = Rs. 4042.65
