The price of a certain article is Rs. 12000. The price decreases by 20% due to a slump in the market. Find the new price (in Rs.) of the article.

• A. 9600
• B. 10600
• C. 11600
• D. 8400
• E. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A

9600

Original Price = 12000

Decrease percentage = $20\%$

So, new price $=80\%of12000=\frac{80}{100}\times 12000=Rs.9600$
