Second method to solve this question :
Here, r = 15%, D = 10%
Using the given formula ,M.P. = 100 + r C.P. 100 − D
Correct Option: A
Given that , gains = 15% , discount = 10%
Let the CP of article be p and its marked price be q.
According to the question,
90% of q = 115% of p⇒ q × 90 = p × 115 100 100 ⇒ p = 90 = 18 ⇒18 : 23 q 115 23
Second method to solve this question :
Here, r = 15%, D = 10%
Using the given formula ,M.P. = 100 + r C.P. 100 − D M.P. = 100 + 15 C.P. 100 − 10 M.P. = 115 C.P. 90 C.P. = 90 M.P. 115 C.P. = 18 M.P. 23
⇒ C.P. : M.P. = 18 : 23
