Question

    An item is sold at 70% of its marked price, resulting in a 40% profit. Determine the ratio of the marked price to the cost price for this item.

    A 3:2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 1:2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 2:1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 1:5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let marked price of the article be Rs. ‘100x’ So, selling price of the article = 0.70 × 100x = Rs. ‘70x’ Therefore, cost price = (70x/1.40) = Rs. ‘50x’ Required ratio = 100x:50x = 2:1
