Question

On selling an article for Rs$144$, A man losses $10\%.$ At what price should he sell it to gain $10\%$?

• A. Rs $158.40$
• B. Rs $172.80$
• C. Rs $176$
• D. Rs $192$

Answer 1

The correct option is C Rs $176$

Given, $S.P=144$

Lose $=10$ % of $CP=$ $\frac{10}{100}CP$

$\therefore SP=90$

$\frac{90}{100}CP=144\Rightarrow CP=160Rs.$

For gaining $10$ %

$Profit=\frac{10}{100}\times 160=16Rs.$

$\therefore S.P=160+16=176Rs.$
