• A. Rs. $4,000$
• B. Rs. $4,400$
• C. Rs. $5,500$
• D. Rs. $5,000$

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Rs. $5,000$

Let CP of car be Rs. x.
Cost on repair = $\frac{x}{10}$
Total cost = $x+\frac{x}{10}=\frac{11x}{10}$
We have, $\frac{11x}{10}\times \frac{20}{100}=\frac{11x}{50}=11000$
x = 50000
Cost on repair = $\frac{x}{10}=\frac{50000}{10}$
Rs. 5000
