    'G' labeled an item with a price tag that is 400% higher

    than its cost price and later sold it to 'A' at a discounted rate of 25%. This transaction resulted in 'G' making a profit of Rs. 990. Determine the amount of discount provided by 'G'.
    A Rs.550 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs.350 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.420 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.450 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E none of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Let the cost price of the article for 'G' be Rs.'a' Therefore, marked price of the article = a + 400% of a = Rs.5a Selling price of the article = 0.75 × 5a = Rs.3.75a According to the question, 3.75a - a = 2.75a = 990 Or, a = (990/2.75) = 360 Therefore, discount offered by 'G' = 5a - 3.75a = 1.25a = 1.25 × 360 = Rs.450
