    What was the profit earned by selling an article?

    I: The article was sold for Rs 850 after getting a discount of 15% on the labelled price. II: A profit of 4% is made on the labelled price in buying that article.
    A If the data in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B If the data in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C If the data either in statement I alone or statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D If the data given in both I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E If the data in both the statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    From statement I,  S.P = Rs 850 We can find the MP of article as 100/85 × 850 = Rs 1,000  from statement II,  We can find the CP of article by using the MP from statement I as 104/100 × 1000 = Rs 1040 Now we have both SP and CP from both statements to find the profit%.
