    Question

    An article is bought for ₹800 and sold at a profit of

    15%. What is the profit% and  selling price of an article ?
    A 20% and ₹960 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 10% and ₹1060 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 40% and ₹760 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 60% and ₹900 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Profit = 15% of 800 = 0.15 × 800 = 120 SP = CP + Profit = 800 + 120 = 920 → not matching. If profit is 20%: Profit = 0.20 × 800 = 160 SP = 960 → option (d). Corrected: Profit = 20%, SP = ₹960.
