    then sells it at 15% profit after allowing a discount of x% on the marked price. If the cost price of the article is Rs.2000, find the selling price (Rs.) when the article is sold at (x + 5)% profit.

    B Rs.2360 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.2200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.3260 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Marked price of the article = 2000 Γ— 125/100 = Rs.2500 So, selling price when profit is 15% = 2000 Γ— 115/100 = Rs.2300 So, 2500 Γ— (100 βˆ’ x) / 100 = 2300 Or, 2500(100 βˆ’ x) = 230000 Or, 100 βˆ’ x = 230000 / 2500 = 92 Or, x = 8 So, required selling price when profit is (x + 5)% = 13% Required selling price = 2000 Γ— 113/100 = Rs.2260
