    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Let the cost price of the article be Rs. 'C'. Profit earned = Rs. (9,200 - C) Loss incurred = Rs. (C - 6,000) ATQ; 9,200 - C = (3/4) X (C - 6,000) Or, 4 X (9,200 - C) = 3 X (C - 6,000) Or, 36,800 - 4C = 3C - 18,000 Or, 7C = 54,800 So, 'C' = 7,828.57 Required selling price = (160/100) X 7,828.57 = Rs.12,525.71
