    Question

    The selling price of a product when sold at 20% profit

    is Rs. 60 more than its selling price when sold at a loss of 10%. What is the cost price of the product?
    A Rs.200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs.150 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.332 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.255 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the cost price of the product = Rs. ‘100y’
    According to the question,
    100y × 1.20 – 100y × 0.90 = 60
    Or, 120y – 90y = 60
    Or, 30y = 60
    So, y = 60 ÷ 30 = 2
    So, cost price of the product = 2 × 100 = Rs. 200
