    The cost price of a refrigerator and a washing machine

    is Rs. 50,000 and Rs. 90,000, respectively. The shopkeeper sold the washing machine and the refrigerator at a loss of 10% and at a profit of 20%, respectively. If there was a combined discount of 15% on both the refrigerator and washing machine, find the combined marked price of the refrigerator and washing machine.
    A Rs.1,05,882.35 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs.1,65,882.35 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.2,60,662.88 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.65,882 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ: Selling price of the refrigerator = 50,000 × 1.20 = Rs. 60,000 Selling price of the washing machine = 90,000 × 0.90 = Rs. 81,000 Combined selling price = 60,000 + 81,000 = Rs. 1,41,000 Therefore, combined marked price = (1,41,000 ÷ 0.85) = Rs. 1,65,882.35
