      sold it after allowing 25% discount. If he made a profit of Rs. 45, then find the difference between selling price and marked price of the article.
      A Rs. 120 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs. 60 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs. 90 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs. 75 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E Rs. 100 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the cost price of the article be Rs. ‘2x’
      So, marked price of the article = 2x × 1.6 = Rs. ‘3.2x’
      Selling price of the article = 3.2x × 0.75 = Rs. ‘2.4x’
      Profit = 2.4x – 2x = Rs. ‘0.4x’
      ATQ;
      0.4x = 45
      Or, x = 112.5
      So, marked price of the article = 112.5 × 3.2 = Rs. 360
      Selling price of the article = 112.5 × 2.4 = Rs. 270
      Required difference = 360 – 270 = Rs. 90
