Question

Aman purchased gulab jamoon for ₹200 but due to bad taste he couldn't eat it and he had no other choice but to sell it at a loss of 10% . Find the price that Aman will get after selling it?

• A. ₹200
• B. ₹180
• C. ₹250
• D. ₹120

Answer 1

The correct option is B ₹180

Since,
Cost price of the gulab jamoon is ₹200 and loss% = 10
So,
CP= ₹200 , loss = 10%
Now,
$loss\%=\frac{CP-SP}{CP}\times 100$
Now, let the selling price be x
$10=\frac{200-x}{200}\times 100$
$20=200-x$
$x=200-20$
$x=180$
So, the selling price of the gulab jamoon will be ₹180.
