Question

The cost of a blazer was ₹ 850. If the cost increases by 40%, then its revised price is ₹.

• A. 1190
• B. 2140
• C. 1910

Answer 1

The correct option is A 1190

When the price of the blazer increases by 40%,
Revised price = Original price + 40% of original price
= Original price$\times$ $\frac{100+40}{100}$
= Original price$\times$ $\frac{140}{100}$
If original price = ₹ 850 for a certain article,

Revised price for the same article = 850 $\times$$\frac{140}{100}$ = ₹ 1190.
