Question

Sahil purchased a machine at Rs. $10000$, then got it repaired at Rs. $5000$ and gave its transportation charge Rs. $1000$. Then he sold it with $50\%$ of profit. At what price he actually sold it?

• A. $20000$
• B. $22000$
• C. $24000$
• D. $26000$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $24000$

Sahil purchased a machine at $Rs.10000$.

Its repairing cost is $Rs.5000$ and transportation cost is $Rs.1000$.

$\therefore$Total C.P.$=10000+5000+1000=Rs.16000$

Given that, on selling the machine, Sahil gained a profit of $50\%$.

$\therefore$ S.P. $=16000+\frac{50}{100}\times 16000$

$=16000+8000$

$=Rs.24000$

Hence, Sahil sold the machine for $Rs.24000$.
