    Question

    The marked price of the washing machine is 20% above its

    cost price. The seller offers two successive discounts of 10% and 25%, respectively. If he incurs a loss of Rs. 1900, find the price (in rupees) at which he sold the washing machine.
    A Rs. 8100 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 7200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 9000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 6300 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the cost price = Rs. x
    Marked price = 120% of x = Rs. 1.20x
    According to the question,
    x - 1.20x × 90% × 75% = 1900
    x - 1.20x × 0.90 × 0.75 = 1900
    x - 0.81x = 1900
    0.19x = 1900 ⟹ x = 10000
    The required selling price = Rs. 10000 - 1900 = Rs. 8100
