Question

On selling a bat for Rs. $371$, a man gains $6\%$. For how much should he sell it to gain $8\%$?

• A. $Rs278$
• B. $Rs378$
• C. $Rs350$
• D. $Rs250$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$Rs378$

Let C.P. be Rs. $x$

$\Rightarrow x+\frac{6x}{100}=371$

$\Rightarrow \frac{53x}{50}=371$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{350\times 27}{25}=350$

To gain $8$% S.P. should be

$=350[1+\frac{4}{50}]$

$=350\times \frac{27}{25}$

$=$ Rs. $378$
