Question

    Priya and Neha went to a stationery shop. Priya had 30% of

    the book's marked price, which was Rs. 60 less than the selling price. Neha had 55% of the marked price. If Neha purchased the book and had Rs. 90 left, find the selling price of the book.
    A Rs.360 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs.528 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.328 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.240 m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the marked price of the book be Rs. ‘x’.

    So, money with Priya = Rs. 0.30x

    Money with Neha = Rs. 0.55x

    Selling price of the book = 0.30x + 60 = 0.55x – 90

    0.25x = 150 ⇒ x = 600

    So, selling price of book = 0.30 × 600 + 60 = 180 + 60 = Rs. 240
