    marked up by 25%. It was later sold after giving a discount of Rs. 40. Another item ‘Y’ was sold for Rs. 900 at a loss of 10%. What is the ratio of the cost price of item ‘Y’ to the selling price of item ‘X’?

    D 28:31 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Marked price of item ‘X’ = 800 × 1.25 = Rs. 1,000 Selling price of item ‘X’ = 1,000 – 40 = Rs. 960 Cost price of item ‘Y’ = 900 / 0.90 = Rs. 1,000 So, required ratio = 1000:960 = 25:24
