      Question

      A seller marked an article 25% above its cost price and

      sold it after allowing 10% discount. If he made a profit of Rs. 25, then find the difference between selling price and marked price of the article.
      A Rs. 20 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs. 30 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs. 25 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs. 15 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the cost price of the article be Rs. β€˜2x’
      So, marked price of the article = 2x Γ— 1.25 = Rs. β€˜2.5x’
      Selling price of the article = 2.5x Γ— 0.9 = Rs. β€˜2.25x’
      Profit = 2.25x – 2x = Rs. β€˜0.25x’
      ATQ;
      0.25x = 25
      Or, x = 100
      So, marked price of the article = 100 Γ— 2.5 = Rs. 250
      Selling price of the article = 100 Γ— 2.25 = Rs. 225
      Required difference = 250 – 225 = Rs. 25
