    Question

    An article is sold for Rs. 480 at 20% loss. If this

    article was sold at 12.5% profit, what would have been its selling price?
    A Rs. 450 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 540 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 600 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 675 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Given, SP = Rs. 480, Loss% = 20% Then, => CP = SP/(1 – (loss%100)) => CP = 480/(1 – 20/100) = 480/0.8 => CP = Rs. 600 Hence, The required selling price = CP × (1 + (profit%/100)) = 600 × (1 + 12.5/100) = Rs.675
