The selling price of an article = ₹ 1,920
If the marked price of the article be y, then
96% of y = 1920⇒ y × 96 = 1920 100 ⇒ y = 1920 × 100 = ₹ 2000 96
We can find the required answer with the help of given formula :
Here , S.P. = ₹ 1920 , D = 4% , M.P. = ?M.P. = S.P. × 100 100 − D

Given in question , marked price = ₹ 650, SP of article = ₹ 572
∴ Discount = marked price - SP of article = 650 – 572 = 78
If the discount be d% then650 × d = 78 100 ⇒ d = 78 × 100 = 12% 650
Second method to solve this question :
Here, M.P. = ₹ 650 , S.P. = ₹ 572
Using the given formula ,Discount % = M.P.− S.P. ×100 M.P.
Correct Option: A
Given in question , marked price = ₹ 650, SP of article = ₹ 572
∴ Discount = marked price - SP of article = 650 – 572 = 78
If the discount be d% then650 × d = 78 100 ⇒ d = 78 × 100 = 12% 650
Second method to solve this question :
Here, M.P. = ₹ 650 , S.P. = ₹ 572
Using the given formula ,Discount % = M.P.− S.P. ×100 M.P. Discount % = 650 − 572 ×100 650 Discount % = 7800 = 12% 650

Given , discount = 12%
Let marked price of article = ₹ 100
∴ C.P. of article = ₹ 64
∴ S.P. of article = ₹ 88
Profit = S.P. of article - C.P. of article = 88 - 64 = ₹ 24∴ Profit percent = Profit ×100 C.P. of article
Correct Option: A
Given , discount = 12%
Let marked price of article = ₹ 100
∴ C.P. of article = ₹ 64
∴ S.P. of article = ₹ 88
Profit = S.P. of article - C.P. of article = 88 - 64 = ₹ 24∴ Profit percent = Profit ×100 C.P. of article Profit percent = 24 ×100 = 37.5% 64
