Given Here , Marked price of an article = ₹ 275
profit = 4.5% , discount = 5%
Let C.P. of article be y∴ y × 104.5 = 275 × 95 100 100
⇒ y × 104.5 = 275 × 95⇒ y = 275 × 95 = ₹ 250 104.5
Second method :
Here , M.P. = ₹ 275, D = 5%, r = 4.5%, C.P. = ?
Using the given formula ,M.P. = 100 + r C.P. 100 − D
Correct Option: A

Given that , The marked price of a radio = ₹ 480
If the CP of radio be y, then108 of y = 480 × 90 100 100 ⇒ y × 108 = 432 100 ⇒ y = 432 × 100 = ₹ 400 108 Gain percent (if no discount is allowed) = 80 × 100 = 20% 400
Second method :
Here, r = 8%, D = 10%, M.P. = ₹ 480
With the help of given formula ,M.P. = 100 + r C.P. 100 − D

Let the CP be 100.
After profit of 12% ,
∴ SP = 112
discount = 10%
If the marked price be y, then
90 % of y = 112⇒ y = 112 × 100 = ₹ 1120 90 9 ∴ Required ratio = 100 : 1120 9
Required ratio = 900 : 1120 = 45 : 56
Second method :
Here, r = 12%, D = 10%M.P. = 100 + r C.P. 100 − D
Correct Option: A

Marked price = 50
S.P. after 20% discount = 80% of 50 = ₹ 40
If the CP of article be y, then125 × y = 40 100 ⇒ y = 40 × 100 = ₹ 32 125
Second method :
Here, M.P. = ₹ 50, C.P. = ?, r = 25%, D = 20%
Using the given formula ,M.P. = 100 + r C.P. 100 − D
Correct Option: C
