Question

• A. $Rs.15,500$
• B. $Rs.15,820$
• C. $Rs.15,520$
• D. $Rs.15,800$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $Rs.15,500$

Given that, Aditya sold TV to sanjay at $12\%$ more than $CP$.

$\Rightarrow$ Aditya earned $12\%$ profit on it.

$SP=17696;P=12$

As we know the formula for $CP$ as

$CP=\frac{SP(100-P)}{100}$

$CP=\frac{17696\times (100-12)}{100}$

$CP=\frac{17696\times 88}{100}$

$\Rightarrow CP=\text{Rs.}15572$
