      Question

      A seller marked an article 50% above its cost price and

      sold it after allowing 10% discount. If he made a profit of Rs. 56, then find the difference between selling price and marked price of the article.
      A Rs 22 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs 24 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs 26 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs 28 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the cost price of the article be Rs. β€˜2x’
      So, marked price of the article = 2x Γ— 1.5 = Rs. β€˜3x’
      Selling price of the article = 3x Γ— 0.9 = Rs. β€˜2.7x’
      Profit = 2.7x – 2x = Rs. β€˜0.7x’

      So, 0.7x = 56
      β‡’ x = 80
      Marked Price = 80 Γ— 3 = Rs. 240
      Selling Price = 80 Γ— 2.7 = Rs. 216
      Required difference = 240 – 216 = Rs. 24
