Question

By selling an article an article for Rs. 600 a man loses 20 %. At what price he will sell in order to gain 25 %.

• A. Rs. 800
• B. Rs. 750
• C. Rs. 937.50
• D. Rs. 1000

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Rs. 937.50

We have
$\frac{S{P}_1}{100+x_1}=\frac{S{P}_2}{100+x_2}$

$\frac{600}{100-20}=\frac{S{P}_2}{100+25}$

($\because X_1$ is loss)
$S{P}_2=600\times \frac{125}{80}$ = Rs. 937.50
