      Question

      The cost price of a smartphone is Rs. 20,000. The

      smartphone is marked 40% above its cost price and sold after a discount of Rs. 2,000. If the cost price had been Rs. 4,000 less but sold for the same price, then what would be the percentage of profit earned?
      A 50% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 60% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 70% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 62.5% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Selling price of the smartphone = 20,000 Γ— 1.40 - 2,000 = Rs. 26,000. If the cost price had been Rs. 4,000 less, the new cost price = 20,000 - 4,000 = Rs. 16,000. So, required percentage = {(26,000 - 16,000)/16,000} Γ— 100 = 62.5%
